We aimed to determine the association between maternal infections during pregnancy with risk of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children.
A systematic literature search was performed utilizing the online databases PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Sciences up to July 2020. Random-effects meta-analyses were applied to estimate pooled relative risk (RR). Heterogeneity, study quality and publication bias were assessed through I value, Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) and Egger's test, respectively.
Thirteen articles involving 1401904 mother-child pairs were included. The result of meta-analysis showed that the risk of ADHD increased by 30% among children whose mothers took any infections during pregnancy (pooled RR=1.30, 95% CI: 1.14-1.49; I=85.5, P<0.001). Overall, the included studies were good in quality and no publication bias was found (=0.23, Egger's test).
Maternal infections during pregnancy might be associated with an increased risk of ADHD in children.
我们旨在确定孕期母亲感染与儿童注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)风险之间的关联。
截至2020年7月,利用在线数据库PubMed、Scopus和Web of Sciences进行了系统的文献检索。采用随机效应荟萃分析来估计合并相对风险(RR)。分别通过I值、纽卡斯尔-渥太华量表(NOS)和Egger检验评估异质性、研究质量和发表偏倚。
纳入了13篇文章,涉及1401904对母婴。荟萃分析结果显示,母亲在孕期发生任何感染的儿童患ADHD的风险增加了30%(合并RR = 1.30,95%CI:1.14 - 1.49;I = 85.5,P < 0.001)。总体而言,纳入的研究质量良好,未发现发表偏倚(Egger检验P = 0.23)。
孕期母亲感染可能与儿童患ADHD的风险增加有关。
