“…However, few of the included studies matched control subjects on the basis of SES 19 or adjusted for SES 16 in the relationships between maternal diabetes during pregnancy and offspring's cognitive development. Likewise, other potential confounders, including maternal age, 49,50 alcohol use, 51,52 and smoking during pregnancy, 53 and offspring-related covariates, such as gestational age 54 and birth weight, 27,55 were rarely adjusted for in these studies.…”

Diabetes in Pregnancy and Childhood Cognitive Development: A Systematic Review

CONTEXT: The effect of diabetes during pregnancy on the cognitive development of offspring is unclear because of inconsistent findings from limited studies.OBJECTIVE: This review was aimed to provide the best available scientific evidence on the associations between maternal pregnancy diabetes and the cognitive development of offspring. DATA SOURCES:A search was conducted in the Embase, CINAHL, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Scopus databases. STUDY SELECTION:Studies addressing the cognitive development of offspring (aged ≤12 years) as outcome and any diabetes in pregnancy as an exposure were included.DATA EXTRACTION: Data were extracted and evaluated for quality by 2 independent reviewers. RESULTS: Fourteen articles were eligible for the review. Ten studies investigated the associations between maternal pregestational diabetes or both pregestational and gestational diabetes and offspring's cognitive development; 6 studies found at least 1 negative association. Four studies exclusively examined the relationships between gestational diabetes and offspring's cognitive development; 2 studies found a negative association, 1 a positive association, and 1 a null association. The use of diverse cognitive and diabetes assessment tools/criteria, as well as statistical power, contributed to the inconsistent findings. LIMITATIONS:The English-language restriction and publication bias in the included studies are potential limitations. CONCLUSIONS:Although there are few data available regarding the associations between maternal pregnancy diabetes and offspring's cognitive development, this review found that maternal diabetes during pregnancy seems to be negatively associated with offspring's cognitive development. Large prospective studies that address potential confounders are needed to confirm the independent effect of maternal diabetes during pregnancy.

“…Increased level of carboxyhemoglobin in the bloodstream and reduced uterine blood flow by nicotine results in the fetus being deprived of oxygen and nutrients. Nicotine acts as a stimulant to cholinergic neurons, affecting neuro-and synaptogenesis and apoptosis [37]. Prenatal tobacco smoke exposure has also been linked to changes in amino-acid transportation, protein synthesis and enzyme activity, which can have a lasting impact on the developing brain.…”

Maternal active and passive smoking and low or moderate alcohol drinking during pregnancy, taking into account the level of exposure and developmental or behavioral outcomes, are recognized as a significant issue from both a clinical and a public health perspective. The article aims at evaluating the impact of prenatal exposure to tobacco smoke constituents and low or moderate alcohol drinking during pregnancy on children neurodevelopment by reviewing the most recently published literature. Relevant studies were identified by searching the Pubmed, Medline and Ebsco literature databases. This review is restricted to 29 human studies published in English in peer reviewed journals since 2006. The studies published recently continued to show some relationship between tobacco smoke exposure, from active and passive maternal smoking during pregnancy, and children's psychomotor development independent of other variables, but this relationship is not straightforward. The association is mostly consistent for measures of academic achievements and behavioral problems which require further attention. The results of the studies on low or moderate exposure to alcohol are not fully conclusive, but some of them suggest that consumption of alcohol during pregnancy may adversely affect children's intelligence quotient (IQ), mental health, memory and verbal or visual performance. As the reviewed studies indicate, maternal lifestyle during pregnancy like alcohol drinking or smoking may affect children neurodevelopment. All effort should be taken to eliminate such exposure to ensure appropriate children's development.

“…Intrauterine growth disorders [21], congenital anomalies [22], low birth weight, and the risk of sudden infant death syndrome [23] have also been linked to prenatal exposure to nicotine. Over the longer term maternal nicotine consumption during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of health problems in later life, for example, cardiac and respiratory disease or overweight [16] but also with behavioral disorders (particularly ADHD and aggressive behavior) [24,25] and cognitive deficits [26] during the childʼs further development. The harmful impact of chronic or high alcohol consumption as well as substance abuse and addiction during pregnancy on the unborn child have long been known [3].…”

!In recent decades, the understanding of the short and longer term effects of health-damaging behaviors and mental health problems in pregnant women and the underlying mechanisms of these behaviors and illnesses has significantly increased. In contrast, little is known about the factors affecting individual pregnant women which contribute to health-damaging behaviors and mental illness. The aim of this paper was therefore to summarize the current state of research into the consequences of nicotine and alcohol consumption, malnutrition, excessive weight gain or obesity, and impaired mental health (depression and anxiety) during pregnancy. In addition, the characteristics of pregnant women which increase their risk of developing such behaviors or mental disorders are described. A better knowledge of these risks should make it easier for clinicians to identify cases at risk early on and put measures of support in place. A review of the literature has shown that certain characteristics of pregnant women (e.g. her relationship with her partner, a previous history of mental illness prior to pregnancy) are associated with various healthdamaging behaviors as well as with impaired mental health. Affected women often show an accumulated psychosocial stress which was already present prior to the pregnancy and which may persist even after the birth of the child.
