The quality of prenatal care is critical for the prevention of adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), only 64 % of women worldwide have access to over four sessions of prenatal care throughout their pregnancy. Thus, studies that address factors affecting maternal and child health status before and after pregnancy are of immense importance. The primary aim of the mothers and their children's health (MATCH) cohort study is to evaluate the effect of nutrition, sleep quality, and lifestyle on maternal and neonatal outcomes.
A prospective cohort of > 2500 pregnant women in the first trimester (before 12 weeks' gestation) will be recruited at Arash Women's Hospital in Tehran, Iran between February 2020 and August 2021. All eligible pregnant women will be followed from their first trimester of pregnancy until delivery at four time points and assessed through a series of in-person visits with interviewer-administered questionnaires and telephone interviews. Detailed data will be collected on maternal demographics, lifestyle, medical history, reproductive history, obstetric history, dietary intake, sleep pattern, blood specimens, and anthropometric measurements, alongside paternal demographics, lifestyle, and family history. The outcomes will include antenatal, peripartum, and postnatal maternal complications and infant growth and neurodevelopment.
The results of the MATCH cohort study will support the development of contextual interventions that can enhance antenatal, peripartum, and postnatal status, neonatal outcomes, and longevity mother and child.
产前护理质量对于预防不良妊娠结局至关重要。然而，根据世界卫生组织（WHO）的数据，全球仅有64%的女性在整个孕期能接受超过四次的产前护理。因此，研究影响孕前和产后母婴健康状况的因素具有极其重要的意义。母婴健康（MATCH）队列研究的主要目的是评估营养、睡眠质量和生活方式对母婴结局的影响。
2020年2月至2021年8月期间，将在伊朗德黑兰的阿拉什妇女医院招募超过2500名孕早期（妊娠12周前）的孕妇组成前瞻性队列。所有符合条件的孕妇将从孕早期开始直至分娩，在四个时间点接受随访，并通过一系列由访员管理的问卷调查和电话访谈进行评估。将收集有关孕产妇人口统计学、生活方式、病史、生殖史、产科病史、饮食摄入、睡眠模式、血液样本和人体测量数据的详细信息，同时收集父亲的人口统计学、生活方式和家族史。结局将包括产前、围产期和产后的孕产妇并发症以及婴儿生长和神经发育情况。
MATCH队列研究的结果将支持制定情境干预措施，以改善产前、围产期和产后状况、新生儿结局以及母婴寿命。
