Pregnancy Cochrane Pediatric Emergency Medicine Reviews

OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of providing pregnant women with high-protein nutritional supplements on gestational weight gain and on the outcome of pregnancy, including fetal growth, gestational duration, and maternal and fetal/infant morbidity and mortality.

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this review was to assess the effects of iron supplementation on haematological and biochemical parameters, and on pregnancy outcome.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of providing pregnant women with isocaloric protein supplements (ie where the protein replaces an equal quantity of nonprotein energy) on gestational weight gain and on the outcome of pregnancy.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of advising pregnant women to increase their energy and protein intakes on those intakes, on gestational weight gain, and on the outcome of pregnancy.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the clinical effects of vitamin B6 supplementation during pregnancy and/or labour.

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this review was to assess the effects of folate supplementation in pregnancy on haematological and biochemical parameters and measures of pregnancy outcome. This review did not address the role of periconceptual folate supplementation to diminish the risk of fetal malformation.

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this review was to assess the effects of vitamin D supplementation on pregnancy outcome.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of zinc supplementation in pregnancy on maternal, fetal, neonatal and infant outcomes.

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this review was to assess the effects of routine iron and folate supplementation on haematological and biochemical parameters and on pregnancy outcome.

OBJECTIVES: To review the effectiveness of vitamin A supplementation during pregnancy, alone or in combination with other supplements, on maternal and newborn clinical and laboratory outcomes.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of vitamin E supplementation, alone or in combination with other separate supplements, on pregnancy outcomes, adverse events, side-effects and use of health services.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effects of vitamin C supplementation, alone or in combination with other separate supplements, on pregnancy outcomes, adverse events, side-effects and use of health resources.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of daily oral iron supplements for pregnant women, either alone or in conjunction with folic acid, or with other vitamins and minerals as a public health intervention.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the adverse effects of commonly used antiepileptic drugs on maternal and fetal outcomes in pregnancy in women with epilepsy. Comparison of outcomes following specific antiepileptic drug exposures in utero to unexposed pregnancies in the general population or women with epilepsy are described. The current manuscript reports the first phase of this review which focuses upon neurodevelopmental outcomes in children exposed to antiepileptic drugs in utero.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the benefits to both mother and infant of multiple-micronutrient supplements in pregnancy and to assess the risk of adverse events as a result of supplementation.

OBJECTIVES: To review the effects of supplementation of vitamin A, or one of its derivatives, during pregnancy, alone or in combination with other vitamins and micronutrients, on maternal and newborn clinical outcomes.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of specialised diets or nutritional advice for women with multiple pregnancies (two or more fetuses).

OBJECTIVES: To examine whether supplements with vitamin D alone or in combination with calcium or other vitamins and minerals given to women during pregnancy can safely improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.
