Abstract:Objective To investigate the association between PM2.5 exposure in pregnancy and preterm birth.Methods On the basis of the patients’ data management system of a maternal and child health hospital, data on social-demographic characteristics, marriage and reproductive history, prenatal health care examinations, and birth and delivery, for 166 preterm patients and 218 controls, were collected via a self-designed questionnaire by the trained staffs from the medical records department or the maternity and child care department. PM2.5 exposure during pregnancy was estimated by Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) interpolation, and unconditional logistic regression was used to adjust for potential confounders.Results In multivariate analysis, every 1 ug/m3 increase of exposure of PM2.5 in the third trimester was associated with a 2% increased risk of preterm birth (OR=1.02, 95% CI:1.01-1.04). Besides, premature rupture of membranes (OR=7.11, 95% CI:4.12-12.25), eclampsia or preeclampsia (OR=10.23, 95% CI:3.39-30.88), and inadequate weight gain during pregnancy (OR=2.88, 95% CI:1.55-5.36) were associated with increased risk of preterm birth, while prenatal health care examination was a protective factor of preterm birth (OR=0.15, 95% CI:0.04-0.58).Conclusion PM2.5 exposure, especially PM2.5 exposure in the third trimester during pregnancy, is associated with increased risk of preterm birth. Pregnant women should reduce the exposure of PM2.5 during pregnancy to minimize the associated risks.
