Overview

Systematic review reveals a link between maternal cadmium levels and preeclampsia, indicating a health risk for pregnant women.

Key Points

  • This review aims to evaluate the relationship between maternal cadmium exposure and the risk of preeclampsia.
  • Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies from five databases.
  • Utilized random-effects models to calculate standardized mean differences and 95% confidence intervals.
  • Performed sensitivity analyses and assessed publication bias using Egger's and Begg's tests.
  • Maternal blood cadmium levels are associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia.
  • No significant publication bias was detected in the analysis.
  • Geographical location and measurement methods did not contribute to heterogeneity in studies.
