A modular systematic review of antenatal interventions targeting modifiable environmental exposures in improving low birth weight

Pieta K. Nasanen-Gilmore et al.

Summary: The progress of antenatal interventions to improve birth outcomes, including reducing environmental exposures and improving health-seeking behaviors, has been slow. Limited evidence suggests that interventions to reduce indoor air pollution and prevent parasitic infections may have no significant effect on reducing low birth weight and preterm birth. Further research on broader interventions is needed.

A modular systematic review of antenatal interventions to address undernutrition during pregnancy in the prevention of low birth weight

Patricia J. Hunter et al.

Summary: This systematic review examined the effects of seven antenatal nutritional interventions on the risks of adverse birth outcomes. The findings suggest that supplementation with balanced protein and energy, multiple micronutrients, and lipid-based nutrient supplements can reduce the risk of low birth weight and related outcomes in populations with undernutrition. Further investigation is needed to determine the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids and calcium supplementation, as well as interventions for pregnant women not gaining weight.

Antenatal interventions to address harmful behaviors and psychosocial risk factors in the prevention of low birth weight

Annariina M. Koivu et al.

Summary: This systematic review examines the effect of eleven antenatal interventions on adverse birth outcomes. The study finds that psychosocial interventions for reducing smoking in pregnancy may reduce the risk of low birth weight, and professionally provided psychosocial support may reduce the risk of preterm birth. However, financial incentives, nicotine replacement therapy, and virtually delivered psychosocial support do not appear to reduce the risk of adverse birth outcomes.

Antenatal interventions to reduce risk of low birth weight related to maternal infections during pregnancy

Yvonne Muthiani et al.

Summary: This article aims to summarize the evidence from published literature on the effect of key interventions targeting maternal infections on adverse birth outcomes. The results suggest that administering 3 or more doses of intermittent preventive treatment can reduce the risk of low birth weight. Providing insecticide-treated bed nets, periodontal treatment, and screening and treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria may also reduce the risk of low birth weight. However, there is limited evidence for other interventions in reducing adverse birth outcomes.

Calcium supplementation for the prevention of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: current evidence and programmatic considerations

Filomena Gomes et al.

Summary: Most low- and middle-income countries have low calcium intake during pregnancy and high rates of mortality due to maternal hypertensive disorders. Calcium supplementation during pregnancy is known to reduce the risk of these disorders, but it is not widely implemented due to cost and logistical issues. Simplifying the supplementation regimens and combining calcium supplementation with food-based approaches may be necessary to improve calcium intakes.

Modular literature review: a novel systematic search and review method to support priority setting in health policy and practice

Annariina M. Koivu et al.

Summary: The Modular Literature Review method is a novel systematic search and review method that can address multiple research questions simultaneously, providing an accessible, reliable answer to the question of what works. It is well-suited to support prioritization, decisions, and planning for health improvement.

Establishing information needs and research priorities in response to the Covid-19 pandemic in the local maternity setting

Kerry Evans et al.

Summary: The project aims to identify gaps in the evidence base and research priorities during the Covid-19 pandemic. The CHNRI methodology was found to be a useful framework for highlighting consensus on research topics efficiently. The criteria focused on areas with no existing studies and with potential for improvements beyond the pandemic.

Maternal dietary diversity during pregnancy and risk of low birth weight in newborns: a systematic review

Sorayya Kheirouri et al.

Summary: This systematic review examined the association between maternal dietary diversity during pregnancy and the risk of low birth weight in newborns. The findings suggest that low maternal dietary diversity during pregnancy may be associated with an increased risk of LBW, particularly in developing countries. Dietary diversity could be a valuable predictor of maternal nutrition and the likelihood of giving birth to a LBW infant.

The impact of malaria during pregnancy on low birth weight in East-Africa: a topical review

Line Bakken et al.

Summary: Intermittent preventive treatment with at least 3 doses of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) during pregnancy recommended by the WHO is effective in preventing low birth weight, but ensuring treatment compliance remains a challenge. Malaria prophylaxis during pregnancy is crucial, especially in malaria-endemic regions like East Africa.

Cannabis and tobacco use prior to pregnancy and subsequent offspring birth outcomes: a 20-year intergenerational prospective cohort study

Lindsey A. Hines et al.

Summary: The study found that parental daily cannabis use at ages 15-17 was significantly associated with increased odds of offspring preterm birth and low birth weight, while no significant associations were observed with cannabis use at other ages or parental tobacco use before conception. These findings support the hypothesis that the origins of health and development begin before conception and highlight the importance of preventing frequent cannabis use during adolescence, particularly in the context of cannabis policy liberalization.

Adverse pregnancy outcomes among mothers with hypertensive disorders in pregnancy: A meta-analysis of cohort studies

Fang Li et al.

Summary: This study reviewed and summarized the association between hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP) and adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) in offspring through a meta-analysis of cohort studies. The results showed that mothers with HDP had a significantly higher risk of various adverse outcomes in offspring compared to those without HDP. Subgroup analysis identified potential heterogeneity moderators.

Factors influencing the uptake of intermittent preventive treatment among pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa: a multilevel analysis

Eugene Kofuor Maafo Darteh et al.

Summary: The study found that the uptake of IPTp-SP among pregnant women in sub-Saharan African countries is relatively low, with significant inter-country variations. Factors associated with higher odds of optimal IPTp-SP uptake include higher educational level, exposure to media, low parity, and older age group. National policies and interventions to improve coverage and uptake of IPTp-SP should target women with lower education levels, non-exposure to media, higher parity, and younger age group.
