Abstract

AbstractBackgroundCongenital heart defects (CHDs) are the most common congenital malformation in the world. Recent studies have found that essential and toxic trace element levels may play a crucial role in the risk of neonatal malformation. However, the relationships between element levels in early pregnancy and CHD risk among humans remain unclear. This study investigates the association between maternal essential element (copper [Cu], zinc [Zn], calcium [Ca], manganese [Mg] and iron [Fe]) and toxic element (lead [Pb] and cadmium [Cd]) levels during early pregnancy and CHDs.MethodsA hospital‐based case–control study was conducted, including 181 cases and 218 controls. Eligible participants underwent antenatal examination during gestational weeks 11–14 and trace element levels were detected by the atomic absorption method. Multi‐variable logistic regression was used to examine the associations between the level of maternal trace elements and CHD risks.ResultsHigher levels of Ca in early pregnancy were associated with lower risk of ASD/VSD risks. Moreover, higher Fe, Pb, and Cd levels in the first trimester were associated with higher risks of all CHD and the subtypes risks, and the tests for trend were significant (all p < .05). The restricted cubic spline analysis showed that there was a nonlinear inverted u‐shaped dose–response relationship between levels of Zn, Pb, and Cd in the first trimester and risk of CHDs (non‐linearity test p < .05).ConclusionsA moderate increase in Zn and Ca levels and a decrease in Pb and Cd levels during early pregnancy are needed to reduce the incidence of CHDs in the Chinese population.
