Cigarette, alcohol, and caffeine consumption: risk factors for spontaneous abortion
Open accessAbstract
Objective. To study the association between cigarette, alcohol, and caffeine consumption and the occurrence of spontaneous abortion. Methods. The study population consisted of 330 women with spontaneous abortion and 1168 pregnant women receiving antenatal care. A case‐control design was utilized; cases were defined as women with a spontaneous abortion in gestational week 6–16 and controls as women with a live fetus in gestational week 6–16. The variables studied comprise age, parity, occupational situation, cigarette, alcohol, and caffeine consumption. The association between cigarette, alcohol, and caffeine consumption was studied using logistic regression analyzes while controlling for confounding variables. In addition stratified analyzes of the association between caffeine consumption and spontaneous abortion on the basis of cigarette and alcohol consumption were performed. Results. Women who had given birth twice or more previously had increased odds ratio (OR), 1.78 (1.27–2.49), whereas women who were students had decreased OR, 0.55 (0.34–0.91) for having spontaneous abortions. Regarding lifestyle factors, the adjusted ORs among women who consumed 5 units or more alcohol per week or 375 mg or more caffeine per day were 4.84 (2.87–8.16) and 2.21 (1.53–3.18), respectively. Women who smoked 10–19 cigarettes and 20 or more cigarettes per day did not have significantly increased ORs for having spontaneous abortions, after adjusting for other risk factors. Conclusion. Consumption of 5 or more units alcohol per week and 375 mg or more caffeine per day during pregnancy may increase the risk of spontaneous abortion.

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.
