To study the association of perinatal human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 transmission with birth outcomes, including birth weight, gestational age, ponderal index, head circumference, and weight/head ratio.
Data from a prospective cohort study of 627 pregnant women and their infants in Butare, Rwanda, from October 1989 until April 1994 were analyzed. A total of 318 HIV-1-infected and 309 seronegative women were enrolled during pregnancy and gave birth to 590 live singletons. Multiple linear regression modeling was used to assess the association of mother-child HIV status with several birth outcome measures.
Unadjusted mean birth weight of HIV- infected infants was 235 g (95% confidence interval [CI] = 94 to 376 g) less than that of HIV-uninfected infants born to HIV-positive mothers (the reference group). After adjustment for gestational age, socioeconomic factors, maternal age, parity, hematocrit, and anthropomorphic measures, mean birth weight of HIV-infected infants was 154 g (95% CI = 38 to 271 g) lower than that of the reference group. When infants born to HIV-seronegative mothers were compared with the reference group, mean birth weights did not differ. Adjusted models resulted in estimates of mean head circumference 0.6 cm smaller (95% CI = 0.2 to 1.1 cm), ponderal index 0.14 lower (95% CI = 0.05 to 0.23), weight/head ratio 3.5 lower (95% CI = 0.5 to 6.4), and gestational age 0.5 weeks shorter (95% CI = 0.1 to 0.9 weeks) for HIV-infected infants than for the reference group.
After adjustment for potential confounding variables, this study showed statistically significant differences in birth weight, gestational age, ponderal index, and weight/head ratio when HIV-infected infants were compared with noninfected infants born to HIV-positive mothers.

研究围产期人类免疫缺陷病毒1型(HIV-1)传播与出生结局的关联,包括出生体重、孕周、 ponderal指数、头围以及体重/头围比。
对1989年10月至1994年4月在卢旺达布塔雷进行的一项针对627名孕妇及其婴儿的前瞻性队列研究的数据进行分析。共有318名感染HIV-1的孕妇和309名血清学阴性的孕妇在孕期入组,并分娩出590名单胎活产婴儿。采用多元线性回归模型评估母婴HIV感染状况与多项出生结局指标之间的关联。
未调整时,感染HIV的婴儿的平均出生体重比HIV阳性母亲所生未感染HIV的婴儿(参照组)低235克(95%置信区间[CI]=94至376克)。在对孕周、社会经济因素、母亲年龄、产次、血细胞比容和人体测量指标进行调整后,感染HIV的婴儿的平均出生体重比参照组低154克(95%CI=38至271克)。当将HIV血清学阴性母亲所生婴儿与参照组进行比较时,平均出生体重没有差异。调整后的模型显示,感染HIV的婴儿的平均头围比参照组小0.6厘米(95%CI=0.2至1.1厘米),ponderal指数低0.14(95%CI=0.05至0.23),体重/头围比低3.5(95%CI=0.5至6.4),孕周短0.5周(95%CI=0.1至0.9周)。
在对潜在混杂变量进行调整后,本研究显示,将感染HIV的婴儿与HIV阳性母亲所生未感染婴儿进行比较时,出生体重、孕周、ponderal指数和体重/头围比存在统计学上的显著差异。HIV-1、母婴传播、非洲、宫内生长、出生体重、孕周、ponderal指数。
