Abstract

This review focuses on the research concerning the relation between psychosocial factors and pregnancy outcome. The following four outcome measures are dealt with: (1) birth weight, (2) preeclampsia, (3) preterm labour, and (4) intrapartum complications. The most consistent finding concerns the association between maternal exposure to taxing situations and preterm delivery. Three possible pathways are hypothesized: (1) an indirect influence via unhealthy coping and life style behaviour, (2) a direct influence via stress-dependent hormones, and (3) an additional direct influence via psycho-immunological factors. Intervention studies aimed at improving pregnancy outcome show fairly mixed results. It is recommended that studies on the relationship between psychosocial factors and pregnancy outcome should employ a prospective design with due attention to chronic stressors, should include appropriate biochemical assessments, and multivariate techniques are applied.

“Furthermore, there is growing evidence that stress hormones such as corticotropin-releasing hormone and cortisol are implicated in the early onset of delivery (Hobel, DunkelSchetter, & Roesch, 1998) as well as in suppression of the immune system, which may lead to infections that increase the risk of preterm labor (Pa…”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
