Objective: To study whether a treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is associated with an adverse outcome in the subsequent pregnancies.

Methods: This study is a register-based retrospective cohort study from Finland. National data of 25,827 women having a surgical treatment of the cervix for CIN in 1986-2003 and their 8,210 subsequent singleton births in 1987-2004 were studied. Main outcome measures were preterm birth rate, low birth weight rate, and perinatal mortality rate.

Results: The risk of any preterm delivery (less than 37 weeks of gestation), especially the risk of very preterm delivery (28-31 weeks of gestation), and extremely preterm delivery (less than 28 weeks of gestation) was increased after cervical conization (relative risk [RR] 1.99, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.81-2.20; RR 2.86, 95% CI 2.22-3.70; and RR 2.10, 95% CI 1.47-2.99, respectively). After cervical ablation, the risk of preterm delivery was also increased. The risk of low birth weight and perinatal death was increased after conization (RR 2.06, 95% CI 1.83-2.31 and RR 1.74, 95% CI 1.30-2.32, respectively). Adjusting for maternal age, parity, and maternal smoking did not affect our results.

Conclusion: Any treatment for CIN, including loop electrosurgical excision procedure, increases the risk of preterm delivery. It is important to emphasize this when treating young women with CIN.

Level Of Evidence: II.

Introduction: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in pregnancy are associated with an increased risk of vertical HIV transmission and adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes. In South Africa, syndromic management is the standard of care for STI management. We assessed the potential impact of point-of-care (POC) screening for curable STIs (Chlamydia trachomatis [CT], Trichomonas vaginalis [TV] and Neisseria gonorrhoeae [NG]) during pregnancy on vertical HIV transmission and adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes.

Prenatal metal(loid) exposure and preterm birth: a systematic review of the epidemiologic evidence.

Department of Environmental Sciences & Engineering, Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, USA.

Background: Preterm birth (PTB) is a common pregnancy complication associated with significant neonatal morbidity. Prenatal exposure to environmental chemicals, including toxic and/or essential metal(loid)s, may contribute to PTB risk.

Objective: We aimed to summarize the epidemiologic evidence of the associations among levels of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) assessed during the prenatal period and PTB or gestational age at delivery; to assess the quality of the literature and strength of evidence for an effect for each metal; and to provide recommendations for future research.
