Article Abstract
Smoking during pregnancy is known to adversely affect offspring health; however, the association between maternal smoking during pregnancy and the risk of depression and anxiety in offspring remains inconsistent. This meta-analysis aimed to clarify this relationship. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and OVID databases for articles published between 2000 and 2024. The odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to assess the association. A total of 11 studies involving 1,775,220 participants met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis revealed that maternal smoking during pregnancy was significantly associated with an increased risk of depression in offspring (OR = 1.33, 95% CI = 1.09-1.63). Stratified analysis by cigaret consumption dose showed that heavy maternal smoking (≥ 10 cigarets/day) further increased the risk of both depression (OR = 1.61, 95% CI = 1.21-2.14) and anxiety (OR = 1.51, 95% CI = 1.32-1.72) in offspring. In conclusion, this meta-analysis provides evidence that maternal smoking during pregnancy may elevate the risk of depression and anxiety in offspring, particularly with heavy smoking. Preventing maternal smoking and reducing exposure to tobacco smoke during pregnancy could have significant benefits for offspring mental health and well-being.

Objectives: Sleep is known to change around pregnancy. Yet current studies often do not take into account the multidimensionality of sleep and its changes from preconception to postpartum. Therefore, this study aims to explore maternal multivariate sleep trajectory from preconception to 6 months postpartum and related determinants.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the combination of cefazolin or a second-generation cephalosporin plus metronidazole is associated with a reduced risk of surgical site infection in women undergoing hysterectomy for gynecologic cancer compared to using cefazolin or a second-generation cephalosporin alone.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent hysterectomy at a single institution between January 2020 and June 2022. The primary outcome was surgical site infection.

In the developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) paradigm, there is a clear link between an adverse prenatal environment and the development of non-hereditary diseases later in life. Exposure to intrauterine inflammation, for example, has been associated with several late-onset conditions, including neurological, cardiovascular, immune, and metabolic disorders. Moreover, maternal and fetal health are compromised under exacerbated inflammation, as it can result in spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, or intrauterine growth restriction.
