Association Between Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy and Dementia: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prior meta-analyses report a 2- to 4-fold increased risk of later cardiovascular disease among women with a history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). Given HDP's vascular underpinnings, it is hypothesized to also be a risk factor for later dementia. We aim to summarize the evidence for the impact of HDP on dementia and consider unique associations between HDP and dementia subtypes.

Methods

Observational studies on the relationship between HDP and dementia were identified from online electronic databases to July 1, 2021 (PROSPERO identifier: CRD42020185630). We included observational studies published in English. Exposure among women was any HDP and HDP subtypes: gestational hypertension, preeclampsia/eclampsia, or other/unspecified HDP. Outcome was any dementia and dementia subtypes: Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, or other/unspecified dementias.

Results

For our primary analyses, we included 5 cohort studies with a total of 183 874 women with and 2 309 705 women without HDP. Pooled analysis found a 38% higher risk of all-cause dementia among women with, versus without, any type of HDP (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.38 [95% CI, 1.18-1.61]; P<0.01). When examining association by HDP and dementia subtypes, we found that women with, versus without, any type of HDP had over a 3-fold higher risk of vascular dementia (adjusted hazard ratio, 3.14 [95% CI, 2.32-4.24]; P<0.01).

Conclusions

Our findings indicate that maternal history of HDP is an important risk factor for later development of vascular and all-cause dementia. Further research among more racially/ethnically diverse populations quantifying HDP's effect on all-cause dementia, and specifically vascular dementia, is warranted.

Project description:Importance:Although research suggests an association between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and other neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring, consensus is lacking. Given the increasing prevalence of hypertension in pregnancy, it is important to examine the association of HDP with neurodevelopmental outcome. Objective:To synthesize the published literature on the association between HDP and risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring in a systematic review and meta-analysis. Data Sources:On the basis of a preprepared protocol, a systematic search of PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, and Web of Science was performed from inception through June 7, 2017, supplemented by hand searching of reference lists. Study Selection:Two investigators independently reviewed titles, abstracts, and full-text articles. English-language cohort and case-control studies were included in which HDP and neurodevelopmental disorders were reported. Data Extraction and Synthesis:Data extraction and quality appraisal were performed independently by 2 reviewers. Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines were followed throughout. Main Outcomes and Measures:Random-effects meta-analyses of estimated pooled odds ratios (ORs) for HDP and ASD and for HDP and ADHD. Stand-alone estimates were reported for all other neurodevelopmental disorders. Results:Of 1166 studies identified, 61 unique articles met inclusion criteria. Twenty studies reported estimates for ASD. Eleven of these (including 777 518 participants) reported adjusted estimates, with a pooled adjusted OR of 1.35 (95% CI, 1.11-1.64). Ten studies reported estimates for ADHD. Six of these (including 1 395 605 participants) reported adjusted estimates, with a pooled adjusted OR of 1.29 (95% CI, 1.22-1.36). Subgroup analyses according to type of exposure (ie, preeclampsia or other HDP) showed no statistically significant differences for ASD or ADHD. Thirty-one studies met inclusion criteria for all other neurodevelopmental disorders. Individual estimates reported for these were largely inconsistent, with few patterns of association observed. Conclusions and Relevance:Exposure to HDP may be associated with an increase in the risk of ASD and ADHD. These findings highlight the need for greater pediatric surveillance of infants exposed to HDP to allow early intervention that may improve neurodevelopmental outcome.

Project description:BackgroundHypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are currently one of the major causes of pregnancy-related maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Recent studies provide evidence that maternal Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms probably play a key role by affecting the biological function of vitamin D in some adverse pregnancy outcomes, while the relationship between the VDR gene polymorphisms and the risk of HDP remains controversial in current studies. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively evaluate the association of the VDR gene polymorphisms with HDP susceptibility.MethodsThis meta-analysis follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement and a protocol has been registered in the PROSPERO (ID: CRD42022344383) before commencing this review. PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched until January 21, 2023. Case-control and cohort studies that reported the association of the VDR gene polymorphisms with HDP were included. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) for non-randomized studies. The odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the five models (allele model, dominant model, recessive model, homozygous model, heterozygous model) were pooled respectively, and subgroup analysis was performed based on ethnicity.ResultsA total of ten studies were included. The VDR gene ApaI polymorphism was associated with HDP susceptibility in the dominant model (OR: 1.38; 95% CI [1.07-1.79]; P = 0.014) and the heterozygote model (OR: 1.48; 95% CI [1.12-1.95]; P = 0.006). In subgroup analysis, the heterozygote model (OR: 2.06; 95% CI [1.21-3.52]; P = 0.008) of the ApaI polymorphism was associated with HDP in Asians, but not in Caucasians.ConclusionThe VDR gene ApaI polymorphism may be associated with HDP susceptibility. Insufficient evidence to support the existence of ethnic differences in this association.

Project description:IntroductionHypertensive disorder of pregnancy is the second commonest causes of maternal death globally. Different public health studies were conducted on hypertensive disorder of pregnancy which presented inconsistent result. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis was commenced to summarize the findings conducted in several parts of the country and to generate the nationwide representative data on the prevalence and risk factors of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy in Ethiopia.Methods and materialsElectronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Hinari, and African Journals Online were searched for studies published in English up to March, 2020. Joanna Briggs Institute Meta-Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale were used for data extraction and quality assessment of the included studies. The meta- regression analysis was computed at 95% CI to present the pooled prevalence and risk factors of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy.ResultsThirty four studies were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy and preeclampsia in Ethiopia were 6.82% (95% CI (5.90, 7.74)) and 4.74% (95% CI (3.99, 5.49)) respectively. Maternal age ≥35 years (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR): 2.91 (95% CI: 1.60, 5.26)), twin pregnancy (AOR: 3.04 (95% CI: 1.89, 4.87)), previous history of preeclampsia (AOR: 5.36 (95% CI: 3.37, 8.53)), family history of hypertension (AOR: 4.01 (95% CI: 2.65, 6.07)), family history of diabetes mellitus (AOR: 3.07 (95% CI: 1.66, 7.70)), body mass index ≥25 (AOR: 3.92 (95% CI: 1.82, 8.42)), alcohol consumption (AOR: 1.77 (95% CI: 1.11, 2.83)), urinary tract infection (AOR: 4.57 (95% CI: 3.47, 6.02)), lack of nutritional counseling during antenatal period (AOR: 4.87 (95% CI: 3.36, 7.06)), lack of fruits (AOR: 3.49 (95% CI: 2.29, 5.30)), and vegetables consumption (AOR: 2.94 (95% CI: 2.01, 4.31)) were the risk factors of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy in Ethiopia.ConclusionsThe pooled prevalence of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy is relatively higher compared with the previous reports. Maternal age ≥35 years, twin pregnancy, previous history of preeclampsia, family history of hypertension, family history of diabetes mellitus, body mass index ≥25, alcohol consumption, urinary tract infection, lack of fruits and vegetables during pregnancy were risk factors of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. The governments and stakeholders should work to strengthen the antenatal care practice to include the possible risk factors of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

Project description:BackgroundHypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) is one of the most common pregnancy complications and causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including HDP. However, the impact of multiple pregnancies, oocyte donation, as well as fresh and frozen embryo transfer needs to be further studied. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analyses to evaluate the association between ART and HDP or preeclampsia relative to spontaneous conception (SC).MethodsWe identified studies from EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library (up to April 8, 2020) and manually using structured search strategies. Cohort studies that included pregnancies after in vitro fertilization (IVF) with or without intracytoplasmic sperm fertilization (ICSI) relative to SC with HDP or preeclampsia as the outcome of interest were included. The control group was women who conceived spontaneously without ART or fertility medications. The pooled results were reported in odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals based on random effects models. Numbers needed to harm (NNH) were calculated based on absolute risk differences between exposure and control groups.ResultsEighty-five studies were included after a screening of 1879 abstracts and 283 full text articles. Compared to SC, IVF/ICSI singleton pregnancies (OR 1.70; 95% CI 1.60-1.80; I2 = 80%) and multiple pregnancies (OR 1.34; 95% CI 1.20-1.50; I2 = 76%) were both associated with higher odds of HDP. Singleton pregnancies with oocyte donation had the highest odds of HDP out of all groups analyzed (OR 4.42; 95% CI 3.00-6.51; I2 = 83%). Frozen embryo transfer resulted in higher odds of HDP (OR 1.74; 95% CI 1.58-1.92; I2 = 55%) than fresh embryo transfer (OR 1.43; 95% CI 1.33-1.53; I2 = 72%). The associations between IVF/ICSI pregnancies and SC were similar for preeclampsia. Most interventions had an NNH of 40 to 100, while singleton and multiple oocyte donation pregnancies had particularly low NNH for HDP (16 and 10, respectively).ConclusionsOur meta-analysis confirmed that IVF/ICSI pregnancies are at higher odds of HDP and preeclampsia than SC, irrespective of the plurality. The odds were especially high in frozen embryo transfer and oocyte donation pregnancies.

Project description:Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are one of the leading causes of poor pregnancy outcomes and are associated with increased rates of maternal mortality, preterm birth, small for gestational age newborns, stillbirth, and neonatal death. The overall and type-specific prevalence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and associated pregnancy outcomes are unknown in Sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, this review aimed to identify the prevalence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and associated pregnancy outcomes in Sub-Saharan Africa. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted on observational facility-based studies irrespective of publication status, sample size, language, and follow-up duration from 19 countries between the years 2000 and 2018 in Sub-Saharan Africa. A review of studies using PubMed, EMBASE, African Index Medicus, and African Journals Online was completed with independent extraction of studies by review authors using the predefined inclusion criteria. Quality and risk of bias of individual studies were assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Checklist. Random effects model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and type-specific hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. A pooled adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval for each study was calculated using comprehensive meta-analysis version 2 software to estimate the association of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and its outcomes. The existence of heterogeneity was assessed using I2 and its corresponding P value. We assessed the presence of publication bias using the Egger's test. Subgroup analysis was performed to assess the potential effect of variables, and a sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess any undue influence from studies. The analysis included 70 studies. The pooled prevalence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (all types combined), chronic hypertension, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and eclampsia were 8% (95% confidence interval = [5, 10]), 0.9% (95% confidence interval = [0.4, 1.8]), 4.1% (95% confidence interval = [2.4, 7]), 4.1% (95% confidence interval = [3.2, 5.1]), and 1.5% (95% confidence interval = [1, 2]), respectively. Compared with normotensive pregnant or postpartum women, women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were associated with increased risk of maternal mortality, odds ratio = 17 (95% confidence interval = [9.6, 28.8]); cesarean section, odds ratio = 3.1 (95% confidence interval = [1.7, 5.6]); perinatal mortality, odds ratio = 8.2 (95% confidence interval = [2.8, 24]); low birth weight, odds ratio = 3.2 (95% confidence interval = [2, 5]); and preterm delivery, odds ratio = 7.8 (95% confidence interval = [2.5, 25.3]) according to this analysis. The pooled prevalence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy was high in Sub-Saharan Africa compared to those reported from other regions. Pregnant or postpartum women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy have increased risk of maternal mortality, cesarean section, preterm delivery, perinatal mortality, and low birth weight newborn. Therefore, creating awareness of the risks of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy is essential. Pregnant women with hypertensive disorders need due attention to manage appropriately and more importantly to have favorable outcomes in this population.
