Longitudinal study of smoking cessation before pregnancy and children's cognitive abilities at 56 months of age
Abstract
Background An inverse relationship exists between the rates of maternal smoking during pregnancy and children's cognitive abilities. The effect of maternal cessation of smoking before pregnancy on child's cognitive development is less clear. Aims To study whether maternal cessation of smoking before pregnancy is associated with children's cognitive abilities. Study design and subjects The original cohort included all 1535 live-born infants admitted to the neonatal wards during 1 year and 658 randomly recruited non-admitted infants. The present study sample comprised 1019 (68.2%) children of the original sample born at term and free of any major impairment followed up to 56 months. Outcome measures Child's general reasoning, visual-motor integration, verbal competence, and language comprehension at 56 months of age. Results The results showed that children whose mothers smoked >10 cigarettes per day before pregnancy but none during pregnancy, fared 12.07 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.07 to 20.08) and 11.23 (95% CI: 2.81 to 19.66) age-standardized points poorer in general reasoning and in language comprehension tests, respectively, than children of never-smokers. All results were adjusted for the sex, gestational age-adjusted birth weight, multiple/singleton pregnancy, birth order, preeclampsia, maternal diabetes, admission to neonatal ward, 5-minute Apgar score ( Conclusions Heavy smoking before pregnancy is associated with children's lower cognitive abilities even if the m…

In the citing paper
“Heinonen et al. (49) found that heavy smoking before pregnancy was associated with lower cognitive abilities in offspring, even if the mother had quit smoking before pregnancy.”
In the citing paper
“As in the study by Heinonen et al. (49), they found that children whose mothers smoked >10 cigarettes daily and quit before pregnancy had significantly lower cognitive scores than children of never-smokers.”
In the citing paper
“Another study of 1,019 Finnish children born at term also observed that children of mothers who smoked before and/or during pregnancy performed worse on cognitive tests at 56 months of age than children of non-smokers (49).”

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.
