Abstract

Objective To systematically review the literature and summarize the relationship between cigarette smoking and placental abruption, and to evaluate the joint influences of smoking and hypertensive disorders (chronic hypertension and preeclampsia) on the subsequent development of abruption. Data sources We reviewed studies identified through a MEDLINE literature search between 1966 and 1997 and through studies cited in the references of published reports. Methods of study selection A total of 13 observational (seven case-control and six cohort) studies were identified which included a total of 1,358,083 pregnancies. We excluded case reports on placental abruption, and restricted the literature search to studies published in English. A meta-analysis was performed by computing pooled odds ratios based on random-effects models describing the association between placental abruption, smoking, and hypertensive disorders. Potential sources of heterogeneity among these studies were explored in detail. Tabulation, integration, and results The overall incidence of placental abruption was 0.64% (8724 of 1,358,623). Smoking was associated with a 90% increase in the risk of placental abruption (odds ratio [OR] 1.9, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.8, 2.0). This pattern was consistent by study design (case-control compared with cohort studies) and smoking prevalence (low compared with high prevalence, defined as less than 30% compared with 30% or more, respectively). However, the association…

  • Up to a quarter of all abruptions were attributable to smoking.

    “In a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies that included 1,358,083 pregnancies, smoking during pregnancy was associated with a 90% increased odds of abruption (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.8–2.0) and up to a quarter of all abruptions were attributable to smoking (42).”

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.
