To assess the association between periodontitis and preterm birth in women of childbearing age.
This review included analytical case-control studies and prospective cohort studies evaluating the association between maternal periodontitis and preterm birth. Of the 3104 screened articles, 31 met the inclusion criteria for the review, and 20 met the quality criteria. The selected studies included a total of 10 215 women.
Twenty articles contributed to the meta-analysis; 16 used a case-control design, and 4 were prospective cohort studies. The study heterogeneity was low (Q = 24.2464; P = 0.1869; I = 21.63%). A positive association between maternal periodontitis and preterm birth was found in 60% of the studies. Under the random-effects model, meta-analysis gave an odds ratio (OR) of 2.01 (95% CI 1.71, 2.36), representing a significant positive association between the explanatory and outcome variables.
Pregnant mothers with periodontitis double the risk of preterm birth. There is a lack of international consensus for diagnosing maternal periodontitis.
评估育龄妇女牙周炎与早产的关系。
本综述包括评估母体牙周炎与早产之间关系的分析性病例对照研究和前瞻性队列研究。在筛选出的 3104 篇文章中,有 31 篇符合综述纳入标准,有 20 篇符合质量标准。入选的研究共纳入了 10215 名女性。
有 20 篇文章为荟萃分析提供了数据;其中 16 项采用病例对照设计,4 项为前瞻性队列研究。研究异质性较低(Q=24.2464;P=0.1869;I=21.63%)。有 60%的研究发现母体牙周炎与早产之间存在正相关。在随机效应模型下,荟萃分析得出比值比(OR)为 2.01(95%可信区间 1.71,2.36),表明解释变量与结果变量之间存在显著的正相关。
患有牙周炎的孕妇早产的风险增加了一倍。目前国际上对于诊断母体牙周炎还没有达成共识。
