AI Article Synopsis
- A meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between bisphenol A (BPA) exposure and the risk of gestational diabetes (GDM) among women, involving a comprehensive literature search and the inclusion of 12 relevant studies.
- The analysis revealed no significant association between BPA levels—whether circulating or urinary—and the likelihood of developing GDM, with the odds ratio indicating a reduced risk instead.
- The study concluded that while the findings suggest BPA exposure may lower GDM risk, further research is necessary to confirm these results and understand the implications better.
Article Abstract
Purpose: A growing number of evidence have assessed the association between bisphenol A (BPA) as an endocrine-disrupting agent and the risk of gestational diabetes (GDM). This meta-analysis aimed to reassess the data on the association of BPA levels in women with GDM compared to the control.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in Medline, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science to extract relevant published studies up to May 2024. 12 articles were included in the meta-analysis. DerSimonian and Liard random-effects model was used to estimate the pooled odds ratio (OR). Sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess the robustness of the pooled results by removing each study from the pooled effect size. Subgroup analyses were performed depending on the subgroups of gestational age, GDM trimester, BMI, study design and geographical area.
Results: The results showed that there was no significant association between circulating and urinary BPA concentrations with the risk of GDM (OR: 0.79; 95% CI 0.60-1.04; = 0.095). No significant heterogeneity was found among the studies. Using Begg's correlation ( = 0.95) and Egger's linear regression ( = 0.86) tests, no publication bias was observed. The sensitivity analysis shows that our findings were completely robust and stable. Meta-regression indicated a significant association between BPA levels and study design and geometric mean as an index of the risk of GDM.
Conclusion: The present meta-analysis demonstrates exposure to BPA was associated with a reduced risk of GDM. Further studies are needed for obtain the reliable results.

No study has examined the association between dietary insulin load (DIL) and insulin index (DII) with developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) during pregnancy. This study aimed to investigate the association between DIL and DII and risk of GDM in a group of pregnant women in Iran. In this prospective cohort study, 812 pregnant in their first trimester were recruited and followed.

Cardiogenic shock (CS) in women is a serious cardiovascular (CV) event associated with a high mortality rate. Non-ischemic etiologies are the most common etiologies in women, such as stress-induced cardiomyopathy, peripartum/postpartum cardiomyopathy, heart failure-related CS, or CS due to myocarditis or valvular heart disease. Although not being the most common etiology in women, acute myocardial infarction is still an important one.

Introduction: Induction of labor is a common procedure, and in Denmark, approximately one in four vaginal deliveries are induced. The association between induction and maternal postpartum infections such as endometritis, surgical site infection after cesarean section, urinary tract infection, and sepsis has been sparsely investigated. Our objective was to investigate the association between induction of labor and risk of maternal postpartum infection and to identify potential risk factors for infection.

The quality of prenatal care for women during pregnancy, in terms of monitoring somatic development, is generally high. The study aims to evaluate the psychosocial situation (well being) of pregnant women during a physiological pregnancy. The care of psychosocial issues of pregnant women is not systematic and often does not occur at all.

Objective This study aimed to investigate whether the amount of blood loss during delivery in patients with low-lying placenta is affected by the planned mode of delivery, internal os distance, and warning bleeding. Materials and methods We conducted a single-center retrospective study encompassing women with singleton pregnancies diagnosed with low-lying placenta between January 2012 and December 2021. Data for maternal demographic details and pregnancy outcomes were extracted from the institution's records.
