Mothers of infants born prematurely due to unknown causes showed higher bronchial hyperreactivity. This suggests a potential link between autonomic nervous system imbalance and both prematurity and airway hyperresponsiveness in mothers.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Obstetrics
  • Neonatology

Background:

  • Preterm birth is a significant concern in neonatology.
  • The etiology of preterm birth is often multifactorial.
  • Maternal health factors may influence pregnancy outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate bronchial reactivity in mothers of neonates with unexplained premature delivery.
  • To compare bronchial reactivity with mothers of neonates with known causes of prematurity and mothers with term deliveries.

Main Methods:

  • Bronchial reactivity was assessed using unspecific bronchial provocation testing with histamine.
  • Participants included mothers of neonates with unexplained preterm birth, known etiology preterm birth, and term delivery.

Main Results:

  • A significantly higher incidence of bronchial hyperreactivity was observed in mothers of neonates with unexplained prematurity.
  • Control groups (known etiology prematurity and term delivery) showed lower rates of bronchial hyperreactivity.

Conclusions:

  • Unexplained premature delivery in neonates is associated with increased bronchial hyperreactivity in mothers.
  • Autonomic nervous system imbalance is hypothesized as a potential common pathway for both prematurity and maternal bronchial hyperresponsiveness.
