Antepartum Exposure to Greenness, Air Pollution, and Temperature and Outcomes of Preterm Infants

Key Points

This study aims to explore how environmental exposures before birth affect the health outcomes of preterm infants.
Cohort analysis focusing on antepartum exposure levels
Assessment of ozone, temperature, and greenness
Evaluation of health outcomes in preterm infants
High ozone exposure linked to lower odds of specific health issues in preterm infants
Combined low temperatures and greenness also showed similar associations
Findings indicate a broader impact of environmental exposures on neonatal health

Abstract

In this cohort study, antepartum exposure to high ozone and combined low temperatures and low levels of greenness or high ozone were associated with lower odds of SWMM in preterm infants. These findings suggest that the health outcomes of antepartum environmental exposure extend to neonatal outcomes of preterm infants.
