To evaluate association of blood lead levels with pregnancy outcome in the obstetrics and gynaecology unit.
Blood lead levels were measured in 73 pregnant women at the time of delivery and assessed its association with pregnancy outcome.
Mean maternal lead level was 9.91+/-4.44 mg/dL (range 2.28-36.35 mg/dL). Mothers of boys had significantly higher (p=0.013, one-tailed t test) blood lead levels (11.05+/-5.19) when compared to mothers of girls (8.74+/-3.18 mg/dL.
Maternal lead levels at the time of delivery showed no association with gestational age, birth weight, recumbent length, or head circumference.
评估妇产科病房血铅水平与妊娠结局的相关性。
在73名孕妇分娩时测量其血铅水平,并评估其与妊娠结局的相关性。
母亲血铅平均水平为9.91±4.44毫克/分升(范围为2.28 - 36.35毫克/分升)。与女孩的母亲(8.74±3.18毫克/分升)相比,男孩的母亲血铅水平显著更高(p = 0.013,单尾t检验),为11.05±5.19。
分娩时母亲的血铅水平与孕周、出生体重、身长或头围均无关联。
