Racial and ethnic disparities in the association of maternal infection during pregnancy and risk of cyanotic congenital heart defects In the United States, 2011-2020.
Annals of Epidemiology 2023 Februrary 23
PURPOSE: The etiology of cyanotic congenital heart defects (CCHD) is not well understood. There is scarce data on racial/ethnic disparities in maternal infection and CCHD. We evaluated the relation of maternal infections during pregnancy and risk of CCHD in the United States, and to assess if this association vary by race/ethnicity.
METHODS: Data were from the National Vital Statistics System comprising of 35.3 million singleton live births among mothers aged 15-49 years from 2011-2020. Logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
RESULTS: After adjustment for sociodemographic and maternal health factors including prepregnancy body mass index, diabetes, hypertension, smoking during pregnancy, time prenatal care was initiated and pregnancy complications, any maternal infection was associated with elevated odds of CCHD (OR: 1.25, 95%CI:1.15-1.37). The odds of CCHD were mainly evident for sexually transmitted infections, namely chlamydia, and hepatitis C viral infection. The association was limited to non-Hispanic Black (OR: 1.22, 95%CI: 1.03-1.45), Hispanic (OR: 1.61, 95%CI: 1.33-1.95) and Asian (OR: 2.03, 95%CI: 1.42-2.91) mothers.
CONCLUSION: In this population-based study, maternal infection during pregnancy was association with a modest risk of CCHD in offspring which was highest in racial/ethnic minority mothers.
