RESUMEN
Overweight and obesity are public health problems worldwide despite being modifiable conditions. The association between birth defects and pregestational maternal body mass index is not entirely clear. We aimed to assess the prevalence and estimate the risk of birth defects related to pregestational body mass index and other maternal factors. We explored a 30-year time series database in a cross-section study. We analysed 40,217 cases, among them 2.8% had birth defects. Bivariate analysis showed a higher prevalence of birth defects with increased pre-pregnancy body mass index and in extremes of maternal age, white skin colour, and primiparity. Multivariable logistic regression showed a higher chance of birth defects in women with pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity (OR:1.19 [CI95%:1.01-1.41]), maternal age ≥ 40 years (OR:1.68 [CI95%:1.11-2.54]), and white skin colour (OR:1.44 [CI95%:1.19-1.75]). Maternal weight is a modifiable risk factor that must be considered and addressed in preconception counselling to minimise possible deleterious effects on embryogenesis.IMPACT STATEMENTWhat is already known on this subject? Previous studies have linked some maternal factors with birth defects. However, the association with prepregnancy maternal body mass index is not clear.What do the results of this study add? Our findings provide support for the association of prepregnancy maternal overweight and obesity with birth defects and highlight that BMI is a modified risk factor.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Maternal body mass index is a modifiable risk factor, highlighting the importance of preconception counselling for the prevention and possible reduction of factors that increase the risk of birth defects.

Abstract Objective To investigate the effect of non-pharmacological interventions to improve sleep quality during pregnancy. Data sources A search was made in the NCBI/PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, Embase, BVS, and Web of Science databases. There were no limitations regarding language, sample size, and type of non-pharmacological intervention. We have included prospective clinical trials between July 2014 and July 2019. Selection of studies This study was registered in the Prospective International Registration of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) database was performed. Publication bias was also assessed with funnel plots. the primary outcome was the total score in the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) before and after intervention. Risk of bias and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) criteria were used for assessing methodological quality. From the 28 retrieved studies, we have selected 8 for qualitative analysis and 6 for meta-analysis. Data collection Two independent reviewers performed the study selection. In the case of disagreement, a third senior reviewer was consulted. The study was initially assessed based on the title, followed by abstract. Lastly, the full text was assessed to be included. Data Synthesis A significant improvement on the sleep quality (PSQI score) was observed when all interventions were grouped (MD = -3.03, 95%CI -4.15 to -1.92, n= 623, i2= 84%, p< 0.001). Analysis by subgroup (music listening: MD = -1.96, 95% CI -3.27 to -0.65, n= 207, i2= 67%, p= 0.003 and other interventions: MD = -3.66, 95% CI -4.93 to -2.40, n= 416, i2 = 80%, p< 0.001) showed an improvement, with high heterogeneity. Risk of bias has shown performance and detection bias for almost studies, and GRADE evidence was very low for all analyzed variables. Conclusion Non-pharmacological interventions—listening to music, physical exercise, relaxation exercises, lettuce seed, sleep hygiene, and acupressure—are effective for improving sleep quality during pregnancy.

A análise do risco de viés mostrou que quase todos os estudos avaliados apresentaram viés de desempenho e detecção, e o nível de evidência GRADE foi muito baixo para todas as variáveis analisadas. Conclusão Intervenções não-farmacológicas - ouvir música, exercícios físicos, exercícios de relaxamento, sementes de alface, higiene do sono e acupressão - são eficazes para melhorar a qualidade do sono durante a gravidez.
