Adverse pregnancy outcomes and Helicobacter pylori infection : A meta-analysis

© 2021 John Wiley & Sons Ltd..

INTRODUCTION: Helicobacter pylori infection during pregnancy has some adverse effects, but its effects are still conflicting. This meta-analysis study was performed to assess the relationship between H pylori infection and adverse effects during pregnancy.

METHODS: Through a systematic literature search up to August 2020, 31 studies included 16 887 pregnant females at baseline and reported a total of 5852 H pylori infection positive and 8196 H pylori infection negative pregnant females, were found recording relationships between H pylori infection and adverse effects during pregnancy. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was calculated between H pylori infection positive vs H pylori infection negative in adverse effects during pregnancy using the dichotomous methods with a random or fixed-effect model.

RESULTS: H pylori infection positive during pregnancy was significantly related to higher rate of preeclampsia (OR, 2.68; 95% CI, 2.02-3.56, P < .001), foetal growth restriction (OR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.26-1.66, P < .001), gestational diabetes mellitus (OR, 2.63; 95% CI, 1.51-4.59, P < .001), and hyperemesis gravidarum (OR, 14.45; 95% CI, 10.24-20.38, P < .001) compared with H pylori infection negative. However, H pylori infection positive during pregnancy was not significantly correlated with spontaneous onset of labour (OR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.83-1.21, P = .98) compared with H pylori infection negative.

CONCLUSIONS: H pylori infection may have an independent relationship with certain adverse effects during pregnancy. H pylori infection positive during pregnancy was significantly related to a higher rate of preeclampsia, foetal growth restriction, gestational diabetes mellitus, and hyperemesis gravidarum compared with H pylori infection negative. This relationship encouraged us to recommend screening and treating females for H pylori infection before and during pregnancy to avoid any possible complications.
