“…The reason behind this finding might be lack of education which leads to lower nutritional state and lack of knowledge on oral care, malpractice, and prenatal care increases the risk of low birth weight neonates. Small family size (≤ 6 members) was found to be prevalent in our study, this result was found to be consistent with the results of studies conducted in Germany and Sri Lanka 25,26 . Our study showed that the majority of the women 104 (69.3%) were multigravida and the mean gestational period was 36.6±2.31 weeks.…”

Background: Premature parturition difficulties are the key reason of death for children less than 5 years, resulting more than 1 million mortality in 2015 alone. Many disabilities among children are associated with preterm. Chronic Apical Periodontitis has been reported to be a prevalent disease especially in adults. CAP is usually a condition in which apical portion of the root of tooth is chronically inflamed. Objective: The purpose this research was to identify the characteristics of chronic apical periodontitis among post-natal Pakistani women. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted at among 150 post-natal women suffered from CAP at Gynaecology ward, Unit III, Civil Hospital Karachi. Data were collected from women who delivered babies on that day at the Gynae ward CHK and satisfied the criteria to be included in the study. Principal Investigator assessed radiographs for the presences of CAP. SPSS version 21.0 was used to enter and analysed the study data. Results: Mean age of participants was 26.61 ± 4.83. Among all participants 63 (42%) were unable to read or write. There were 100 (66.7%) participants who had monthly income < 10,000. Majority of the participants had ? 6 members in family. Majority 104 (69.3%) were multigravida while 46 (30. %) were primigravida. Mean gestational period in weeks was 36.16 ± 2.31. Majority of the participants 115 (76.7%) had CAP in single tooth, 32 (21.3%) had in 2 teeth and 3 (2%) had CAP in 3 teeth. PAI score was significantly associated with birth type (normal term and preterm). Baby weight was significantly differed between PAI scores. Conclusion: Results of this study indicate most of the study women were illiterate and belong to low income family. There was higher percentage of multigravida and most of the deliveries were normal vaginal. CAP in single tooth was found among majority of the study women.

“…It is well documented that low birthweight is associated with tobacco use, malnutrition in gestation, sexual transmitted diseases and other maternal infections, adolescent childbearing, etc. [ 3 , 4 , 10 ]. And prenatal tobacco smoke exposure among women is the most prevalent preventable cause of neonatal morbidity, preterm delivery, and low birthweight as well [ 11 ].…”

Introduction Low birthweight (LBW) is a significant public health issue, and maternal smoking is the most prevalent preventable cause of LBW. But there is limited evidence on association of LBW among children and cigarette smoke exposure in mothers in China. In this cross-sectional study, we try to explore if the LBW in children is positively associated with mothers’ prenatal cigarette smoke exposure. Methods We selected 8, 586 mothers and their singleton children in 2018 in Songjiang district, Shanghai. Birthweight of children and gestational weeks of mother was identified by birth records in the hospital, we classified mothers’ prenatal cigarette smoke status into the first-hand smoke (FHS) exposure and the second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure. We use SAS 9.1.3 software to calculate the prevalence of children’s LBW and the prevalence of mothers’ prenatal cigarette smoke exposure including FHS and SHS. Chi-square test and logistic regression were used to analyze the difference. Results In 8, 586 women, The prenatal FHS and SHS exposure prevalence was 0.9 and 20.8%, respectively. The mean birthweight of children was 3315.5 g with a standard deviation of 497.2 g, the mean birthweight was 167.7 g and 66.1 g lower in children born to mothers with prenatally FHS and SHS exposure compared with those children whose mother were not exposed, respectively. The children’s LBW prevalence was 4.7% in this study. By comparing with children whose mother were not exposed, the LBW prevalence was higher among children whose mother were prenatally exposed to FHS [OR (Odds Ratios) = 2.91, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.49, 5.68)], and SHS [OR = 2.35, 95% CI (1.90, 2.89)]. Conclusions Children’s LBW is positively associated with mothers’ prenatal tobacco smoke exposure both for FHS and SHS. So implementing tobacco control measures is crucial to lower smoking prevalence among women, and decrease smoking prevalence of their family members as well as work fellows.

“…Bleeding on probing is considered an important indicator of the presence of the disease, as it is the first clinical sign indicating inflammatory changes in the periodontal tissue 38,39 . For this reason, bleeding on probing has been used in many rigorous association studies of periodontitis 15,27,29,35–37 …”

“…For diagnosis of populations with better socioeconomic condition, who often show lower incidence of disease, the diagnostic criteria need to have greater sensitive 14 . In contrast, populations of developing countries with scarce resources, who typically have greater incidence of periodontitis, require diagnostic criteria with greater specificity 15 …”

Background There exists a diverse range of criteria used in epidemiological studies for the diagnosis of periodontitis. The results from these studies should be evaluated with consideration to the diagnostic criteria used, and this may account for differences between studies especially in some population groups such as pregnant females. The objective is to evaluate the diagnostic criteria used in a variety of epidemiologic studies of periodontitis in pregnant females. Methods An accuracy study with cross‐sectional design was performed out from a database of 671 pregnant females, using six different sets of criteria for the diagnosis of periodontitis. Women were classified for periodontitis, as follows: Center for Disease Control and Prevention/American Academy of Periodontology (CDC/AAP, 2012 criterion), the gold standard, Gomes‐Filho et al.(2018) criterion, Albandar et al.(2007) criterion, Bassani et al.(2007) criterion, López et al.(2002) criterion, and Nesse et al.(2008) criterion. For comparison amongst the gold standard and the other criteria, sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and likelihood ratio were determined. Results The frequency of periodontitis ranged from 25.0% to 90.2%. The Bassani et al. (2007) criterion was found to be more sensitive among the studies, and thus more suitable for diagnostic screening studies. Gomes‐Filho et al.(2018), Albandar et al. (2007), López et al. (2002), and Nesse et al. (2008) criteria were considered more specific, which makes them more useful for studies of periodontitis with the aim of using diagnosis for confirmation of disease. Conclusions A variation in the occurrence of periodontitis was observed. The criterion must be chosen according to the research aims and population characteristics.
