In this retrospective cohort (1998 to 2007), 145,445 singleton live births in Hillsborough, Florida, were analyzed to elucidate the relationship between fetal morbidity and prenatal exposure to six criteria air pollutants.
This study was based on three linked databases: Florida Hospital Discharge, vital statistics records, and air pollution meteorological data from the Environmental Protection Agency. The primary outcomes of interest were low birth weight, preterm births, and small for gestational age. This study used structural equation modeling and trimester groupings to evaluate the relationship between air pollution and birth outcomes of pregnant residents.
The latent variables of structural equation modeling yielded a significant B value of 0.35, indicating that exposure to the criteria pollutants in pregnancy may have a significant relationship to fetal morbidity.
Exposure to criteria air pollutants in pregnancy is associated with fetal morbidity outcomes.
在这项回顾性队列研究(1998 年至 2007 年)中,分析了佛罗里达州希尔斯伯勒的 145445 例单胎活产儿,以阐明胎儿发病率与产前接触六种标准空气污染物之间的关系。
本研究基于三个关联数据库:佛罗里达医院出院记录、人口统计记录和美国环保署的空气污染气象数据。主要研究结果为低出生体重、早产和小于胎龄儿。本研究采用结构方程模型和孕期分组来评估空气污染与孕妇胎儿出生结局之间的关系。
结构方程模型的潜在变量得出了 0.35 的显著 B 值,表明孕妇接触标准污染物可能与胎儿发病率有显著关系。
孕妇接触标准空气污染物与胎儿发病率结果有关。
