Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects patients of all ages and is associated with significant morbidity. Women are often diagnosed in their reproductive years, [...]
Background: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may be at increased risk of adverse neonatal outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine pooled incidences and risk factors for these outcomes. Methods: Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched through May 2019 for studies reporting adverse neonatal outcomes in IBD. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Results: The pooled incidence of preterm birth, low birth weight, congenital anomalies, and infants transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit was 8.6% (95% CI, 7.0%-10.1%), 8.9% (95% CI, 7.3%-10.5%), 2.1% (95% CI, 1.6%-2.6%), and 4.9% (95% CI, 2.9%-6.9), respectively. Compared with healthy controls, patients with IBD were more likely to deliver infants with low birth weight ( Conclusions: Patients with IBD, particularly with active disease or requiring anti-TNF therapy, may be at increased risk of developing adverse neonatal outcomes.
