“…In addition, we compared the effect estimates of parental smoking on birth weight to illustrate our study design, because here the causal intrauterine effect of maternal smoking is well documented. 24,25 We used Stata/IC 11.2 for Windows (Stata Corp, College Station, TX) for all analyses. The study was approved by the Danish Data Protection Agency and the DNBC Steering Committee.…”

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Prenatal maternal smoking has been associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children, but the causal nature of this association is unclear. Controlling for the association with paternal smoking has been inconsistent. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:Women who used nicotine replacement also had children with a higher risk of attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder. Mother' s smoking behavior appears more important than father' s, suggesting a possible causal effect of nicotine exposure or factors related to maternal nicotine dependence.abstract BACKGROUND: Prenatal maternal smoking has been associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, but the causal nature of this association is still under scrutiny. We examined the association with maternal smoking and nicotine replacement use during pregnancy, using association with paternal smoking as a marker of potential genetic or social confounding. METHODS:We included 84 803 singletons who participated in the Danish National Birth Cohort. Information on parental smoking was reported by the mothers during pregnancy. Children with ADHD were identified from the Danish Psychiatric Central Register, the Danish National Patient Register, and the Register of Medicinal Product Statistics by the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision diagnosis or medication. We also used hyperactivity/inattention score of the parent-reported Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, included in the 7-year follow-up of the National Birth Cohort.RESULTS: Maternal and paternal smoking during pregnancy were associated with an elevated risk of ADHD defined by hospital diagnosis, medication, and hyperactivity/inattention score, but the association was stronger for maternal smoking than for paternal smoking. Compared with children born to nonsmoking mothers and smoking fathers, children born of smoking mothers and nonsmoking fathers had a higher risk of ADHD (adjusted hazard ratio = 1.26; 95% confidence interval, 1.03 to 1.53). We also saw a higher risk of ADHD in children of mothers who used nicotine replacement during pregnancy. Dr Zhu conceptualized and designed the study, carried out the initial analyses, and drafted the initial manuscript; Drs Olsen and Obel conceptualized and designed the study, and reviewed and revised the manuscript; Mr Liew contributed to the data analyses and reviewed and revised the manuscript; Drs Li and Niclasen contributed to the conception and study design and reviewed and revised the manuscript; and all authors approved the final manuscript as submitted.

“…To obtain less confounded estimates, we adjusted the analyses for several potential predictors of child health that might confound or suppress effects, selected a priori, including socioeconomic status 31 based on the mother' s occupation (see ref 32), parity, 33 maternal age, 34 general maternal health, to account for potential comorbid conditions that are frequently observed in asthma patients, 35,36 smoking, 37 and infant gender, 38,39 with the categories indicated in Table 1. We obtained information on offspring gender and maternal age at delivery from the Danish Medical Birth Registry, 40 and on socioeconomic status, parity, smoking during pregnancy, and general maternal health from the interviews taken at 12 and 30 weeks' gestation and at 6 months postpartum.…”

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Asthma is a common medical complication during pregnancy that is associated with an increased risk of adverse obstetric outcomes. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:This study adds knowledge on potential long-term consequences of maternal asthma during pregnancy for offspring health, demonstrating that maternal asthma during pregnancy is linked to a wide spectrum of offspring diseases during childhood. abstract BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Maternal asthma is a common pregnancy complication, with adverse short-term effects for the offspring. The objective was to determine whether asthma during pregnancy is a risk factor of offspring diseases. METHODS:We studied pregnant women from the Danish National Birth Cohort (births: 1996Cohort (births: -2002; prospective data) giving birth to live singletons (n = 66 712 mother-child pairs), with 4145 (6.2%) women suffering from asthma during pregnancy. We estimated the associations between asthma during pregnancy and offspring diseases (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision diagnoses from national registries), controlling for potential confounders and validating findings by secondary analyses. RESULTS:Offspring median age at end of follow-up was 6.2 (3.6-8.9) years. Asthma was associated with an increased offspring risk of infectious and parasitic diseases (hazard ratio [HR] 1.34; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.23-1.46), diseases of the nervous system (HR 1.43; CI 1.18-1.73), ear (HR 1.33; CI 1.19-1.48), respiratory system (HR 1.43; CI 1.34-1.52), and skin (HR 1.39; CI 1.20-1.60), and potentially (not confirmed in secondary analyses) of endocrine and metabolic disorders (HR 1.26; CI 1.02-1.55), diseases of the digestive system (HR 1.17; CI 1.04-1.32), and malformations (odds ratio 1.13; CI 1.01-1.26), but not of neoplasms, mental disorders, or diseases of the blood and immune system, circulatory system, musculoskeletal system, and genitourinary system. CONCLUSIONS:To the best of our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive study of the associations between asthma during pregnancy and a wide spectrum of offspring diseases. In line with previous data on selected outcomes, asthma during pregnancy may be a risk factor for numerous offspring diseases, suggesting that careful monitoring of women with asthma during pregnancy and their offspring is important. Dr Tegethoff conceptualized and designed the study, carried out the statistical analyses, interpreted data, drafted the initial manuscript, critically reviewed the manuscript, and obtained funding; Dr Olsen acquired data, interpreted data, critically reviewed the manuscript, and obtained funding; Mr Schaffner carried out the statistical analyses, interpreted data, and critically reviewed the manuscript; Dr Meinlschmidt conceptualized and designed the study, carried out the statistical analyses, interpreted data, critically reviewed the manuscript, and obtained funding; and all authors approved the final manuscript as submitted. Asthma is a frequently occurring medical condition in pregnancy, ...

“…Smoking in pregnancy also contributes to a range of morbidities, such as an increased incidence of low birth weight, pre-term birth and placenta praevia (Cnattingius, 2004;Ko et al, 2014; Ward, Lewis, & Coleman, 2007). It may also have an impact on the lifespan of children born to smoking mothers and is associated with increased risks of behavioural disorders in childhood and ongoing respiratory complications (Hofhuis, de Jongste, & Merkus, 2003).Although smoking rates in New Zealand are gradually trending down, they are highest in women in the childbearing age range (Statistics New Zealand, 2013 et al, 2014). While some women will cease smoking when they discover that they are pregnant, those who continue to smoke are more likely to be heavily addicted to tobacco, have a partner who smokes and be socio-economically disadvantaged (Cui, Shooshtari, Forget, Clara, & Cheung, 2014; Moshin, Bauman, & Forero, 2011; Synovate, 2009).…”

Once an issue is complete, it is printed.The Journal welcomes original research, literature reviews, exemplars/practice stories/case studies, audits and research methodology articles. In general, articles should be between 500-4000 words.
