ABSTRACT

Background: In France, the proportion of children who are exclusively breastfed has been decreasing in recent years. The aim of the study is to assess the link between quality of life (QOL) in pregnant women from the first trimester to the end of pregnancy using the French version EQ5D-3L questionnaire and the feeding method at birth (breast or bottle). Materials and Methods: Five hundred pregnant adult women were monitored between 2015 and 2017 at the Toulouse University Hospital (France). The data were collected monthly. After analyzing the QOL (EQ-5D-Index) and health status (EQ-5D-Visual Analogue Scale) for 1 month, we carried out a nine-group category analysis based on their QOL in the third month (low QOL [score <0.50 out of 1], intermediate [score between 0.50 and 0.90 out of 1], or high [score ≥0.90 out of 1]) and then based on changes in their QOL between the third and eighth month [marked reduction (low >0.6 point), intermediate (low between 0.1 and 0.6 point), and slight reduction (low <0.1 points increase)]. Results: Around1,847 questionnaires were collected and analyzed from 500 women. The monthly analysis did not highlight any link between QOL or health status reported during pregnancy and the feeding method at birth. As regard to the category analysis, following adjustment, the logistic regression model shows that breastfeeding is not linked to QOL in the third month of pregnancy (p = 0.171) or to changes in QOL during pregnancy (p = 0.426). However, there is less of a tendency to breastfeed in individuals with a high QOL in the third month of pregnancy compared to an intermediate QOL during the third month of pregnancy (p = 0.06). Conclusion: In this cohort of pregnant women for whom QOL was assessed throughout pregnancy, no link between QOL and feeding method was highlighted.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The objective was to evaluate the quality of life of pregnant women with a full-term birth from the first trimester to the 9th month using the EQ5D-3L questionnaire, comparing physiological, simple pathological, or complex pathological pregnancies. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective cohort of 500 pregnant women over the age of 18 was monitored between 2015 and 2017 at the Toulouse University Hospital (France). The data were collected monthly with an online report. Given that the decrease in quality of life was not linear during pregnancy, unadjusted and adjusted piecewise linear regression models were performed, considering 3 periods of time during pregnancy: 3-4, 4-8, and 8-9 months. The 5 dimensions of the EQ5D-Index and perceived health status were also analyzed. RESULTS: In total, 1847 questionnaires were collected. Between the 4th and 8th months, the quality of life was lower for pathological pregnancies (P < 0.001) than for physiological ones and decreased over time for each type of pregnancy (physiological: -0.08 points per month, P < 0.001; simple pathological: -0.12 points per month, P < 0.001; complex pathological: -0.11 points per month, P < 0.001). Interestingly, the perceived health status was lower at the 9th month than at the 3rd month of pregnancy, for physiological pregnancies (mean difference = -10.5 points, P < 0.001), pathological pregnancies (mean difference = -10.0 points, P < 0.002), and for complex pathological pregnancies (mean difference = -7.8 points, P = 0.058). CONCLUSIONS: In our population, the quality of life decreased between the 4th and 8th months, and decreased to a greater degree in a pathological pregnancy.

ABSTRACT

The aim of our study was to evaluate the bidirectional transfer of Bisphenol S (BPS) and its main metabolite, BPS Glucuronide (BPSG), using the model of perfused human placenta and to compare the obtained values with those of Bisphenol A (BPA) and BPA Glucuronide. Fourteen placentas at term were perfused in an open dual circuit with deuterated BPS (1 and 5 µM) and non-labelled BPSG (2.5 µM) and a freely diffusing marker antipyrine (800 ng/ml) in the presence of albumin (25 mg/ml). In a second experiment, the potential role of P-glycoprotein in the active efflux of BPS across the placental barrier was studied using the well-established P-glycoprotein inhibitor, PSC833 (2 and 4 µM). Placental transfer of BPS was much lower than that of BPA in both directions. The placental clearance index of BPS in the materno-fetal direction was three times lower than in the opposite direction, strongly suggesting some active efflux transport. However, our results show that P-glycoprotein is not involved in limiting the materno-fetal transfer of BPS. Placental transfer of BPSG in the fetal compartment was almost non-existent indicating that, in the fetal compartment, BPSG originates mainly from feto-placental metabolism. The feto-maternal clearance index for BPSG was 20-fold higher than the materno-fetal index. We conclude that the blood-placental barrier is much more efficient in limiting fetal exposure to BPS than to BPA, indicating that the placenta has a crucial role in protecting the human fetus from BPS exposure.
