Title: | Associations between ozone and preterm birth in women who develop gestational diabetes | Authors: | YUNG-LING LEE | Keywords: | Air pollution; Ozone; Pregnancy complications; Preterm birth | Issue Date: | 2015 | Journal Volume: | 181 | Journal Issue: | 4 | Start page/Pages: | 280-287 | Source: | American Journal of Epidemiology | Abstract: | Prenatal exposure to ambient air pollutants might cause adverse birth outcomes; however, there have been few studies in which the association between air pollution and preterm birth was examined after stratifying by pregnancy complications.We conducted a population-based case-control study of 1,510,064 singleton births from the Taiwanese birth registry during 2001-2007. Of the total of 1,510,064 births, we designated all 86,224 preterm births as the case group and then randomly selected an additional 344,896 from the remaining births (equivalent to 4 full-term births for every 1 preterm birth) as the control sample.We used an inverse distance weighting approach to calculate an average exposure parameter for air pollutants. The adjusted odds ratio for preterm birth per 10-ppb increase in ozonewas 1.12(95%confidence interval: 1.01, 1.23) forwomenwithgestational diabetes mellituswhowereexposed in the third trimester and 1.02 (95% confidence interval: 1.01, 1.03) for women without gestational diabetes (P for interaction <0.001). These findings suggest that exposure to ozone in pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of preterm birth, particularly for women who have gestational diabetes mellitus. ? The Author 2015. |
