BackgroundBoth active and second‐hand smoking (SHS) can cause complications during pregnancy and after delivery. This study aimed to assess how tobacco exposure (active and passive) during the fetal period could impact the psychomotor development of children when they attain the age of 3–6 years.MethodsThe study included 160 mothers and their 3–6 year‐old children. Two research groups were set up of children born to active or SHS mothers during the period when they were pregnant and a control group of children of non‐smoking mothers. The parameters of the psychomotor development of the children were measured using the Age & Stage Questionnaires 3® (ASQ‐3).ResultsChildren, whose mothers were smokers themselves or who were exposed to SHS during the period of pregnancy had an average psychomotor development score of 221 points versus 243.5 points in the control group. Twenty‐six percent had delays (near or under the cut‐off scores) in one of the assessed psychomotor areas and 60% had two or more psychomotor delays; 36% of children whose mothers were not exposed to smoking during pregnancy had normal psychomotor development and only 34% presented multiple psychomotor delays.ConclusionsFetuses exposed to tobacco are more likely to achieve a psychomotor development in the ‘monitor’ and ‘fail’ areas compared to the non‐exposed control group. The children exposed to smoking during their fetal development should be considered as a group at risk of developmental delays, therefore they should be closely monitored and supported by caregivers and developmental pediatricians.

IntroductionH Πρωτογενής, δευτερογενής και τριτογενής έκθεση στον καπνό του τσιγάρου αποτελεί ένα από τα πιο σοβαρά προβλήματα δημόσιας υγείας. Σύμφωνα με τον Παγκόσμιο Οργανισμό Υγείας (ΠΟΥ) το κάπνισμα είναι μια σοβαρή χρόνια ασθένεια και ο καπνιστής είναι ασθενής που χρειάζεται συχνή ιατρική παρέμβαση. Σκοπός της συγκεκριμένης συστηματικής ανασκόπησης είναι η διερεύνηση της επιρροής της πρωτογενούς, δευτερογενούς και τριτογενούς έκθεσης στον καπνό του τσιγάρου τόσο στην εγκυμοσύνη όσο και στο έμβρυο.MethodsΓια τη συστηματική ανασκόπηση, η αναζήτηση των άρθρων πραγματοποιήθηκε στην ηλεκτρονική βάση δεδομένων Medline με τη χρήση λέξεων –κλειδιών (“smoking or tobacco or first hand smoke exposure or second hand smoke exposure or third hand smoke exposure” and “pregnancy or fetus”). Τα κριτήρια ένταξης για την αναζήτηση των άρθρων ήταν οι μελέτες της ελληνικής και διεθνούς βιβλιογραφίας που αναφέρονταν στο κάπνισμα κατά τη διάρκεια της κύησης.ResultsΑπό την ανασκόπηση της βιβλιογραφίας βρέθηκαν 10.928 αποτελέσματα μελετών, επιλέχθηκαν 298 για περαιτέρω αξιολόγηση και με βάση τα κριτήρια «ένταξης-αποκλεισμού» επιλέχθηκαν να αναλυθούν 22 μελέτες. Από την ανάλυση των μελετών βρέθηκε ότι η πρωτογενής, δευτερογενής και τριτογενής έκθεση στον καπνό του τσιγάρου κατά τη διάρκεια της κύησης επιφέρει σειρά επιπλοκών τόσο στο έμβρυο όσο και στο νεογνό.ConclusionsΗ διακοπή του καπνίσματος σε οποιαδήποτε φάση της εγκυμοσύνης έχει ευεργετικά οφέλη τόσο για τη μητέρα όσο και για το έμβρυο. Επομένως η αποχή από το κάπνισμα κατά τη διάρκεια της κύησης είναι αναγκαία για την ομαλή ανάπτυξη του εμβρύου.
