We have analysed data collected on 1962 women who gave birth at 37 or more weeks of gestation to health infants (excluding those with a low birth weight and twins). In comparison with non-smoking parents, the odds ratio (OR) of being male was lower than unity for offsprings of both smoking parents, but no clear relationship however emerged between the risk of giving birth to a male, and the number of cigarettes smoked per day.

Objectives: To explore the associations of parental smoking and alcohol consumption during the periconceptional period and their interactions with risk of congenital heart disease (CHD) in offspring.
Methods: The parents of children with simple CHD aged 0 to 1 year (=683) were recruited as the case group, while the parents of healthy children aged 0 to 1 year (=740) served as the control group. A case-control study was conducted, and a questionnaire was used to collect information on perinatal exposures.
Embryonic size and growth and adverse birth outcomes: the Rotterdam Periconception Cohort.
Hum Reprod
November 2024
Department of Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care, Division of Neonatology, Erasmus MC-Sophia Children's Hospital, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Study Question: Is early embryonic size and growth in the first trimester of pregnancy associated with adverse birth outcomes?
Summary Answer: Larger embryonic crown-rump length (CRL) and embryonic volume (EV) are associated with lower odds of adverse birth outcomes, especially small for gestational age (SGA).
What Is Already Known: Preterm birth, SGA, and congenital anomalies are the most prevalent adverse birth outcomes with lifelong health consequences as well as high medical and societal costs. In the late first and second trimesters of pregnancy, fetuses at risk for adverse birth outcomes can be identified using 2-dimensional ultrasonography (US).

Serimmune, Inc, Goleta, California, USA.
Background: Gastroschisis is a birth defect with the greatest risk among women <20 years of age.
Methods: Pregnant women attending the University of Utah's Maternal-Fetal Medicine Diagnostic Center between 2011 and 2017 for either their routine diagnostic ultrasound or referral were recruited (cases: pregnant women with fetal gastroschisis, n = 53 participated/57, 93%; controls: pregnant women without fetal abnormalities, n = 102 participated/120, 85%). A clinic coordinator consented and interviewed women and obtained a blood sample and prenatal medical records.

Department of Prenatal Cardiology, Polish Mother's Memorial Hospital Research Institute in Lodz, 93-338 Lodz, Poland.
Background: The available data on the relationship between diet/folic acid and congenital heart disease (CHD) are not consistent. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the intake and supplementation of folic acid and other selected factors in mothers and the risk of congenital heart defects in fetuses.
Methods: A case-control study was conducted.
