ABSTRACT
Aim:
Coffee intake is common during pregnancy. However, the influence of coffee and caffeine on pregnancy has not yet been fully determined. Some studies show that high coffee intake could cause miscarriage, preterm birth or reduction of fetal growth, but other studies do not support these findings. The aim of the present study was to analyze data collected from a database focusing on coffee intake during pregnancy, which was specifically created for multicenter studies carried out in the maternity units of Italian general hospitals. Principal outcomes of pregnancy during pregnancy were considered.Methods:
Data of 5405 pregnancies were collected by a direct questionnaire supplemented with data from patients'clinical records during the survey named PHYTO.VIG.GEST.Results:
We observed that 42.3% of the total sample had consumed at least one coffee a day during pregnancy. Analysis of a dose-response relationship showed that, in pregnant women starting from the consumption of three coffees a day (6% of pregnant women consuming coffee), there is a statistically significant association between number of coffees and reduction of babies birth weight (< 2500 g). Coclusion Even though high coffee intake is known to influence negatively birth weight, our results indicate that a significant percentage of pregnant women maintain this habit.Palavras-chave
