TI  - Association between periodontal disease and adverse pregnancy outcomes in a 
      cohort of pregnant women in Jordan.
PG  - 399-402
AB  - BACKGROUND: The relationship between periodontal disease (PD) and adverse 
      pregnancy outcomes remain unclear. The authors' objective was to assess the risk 
      of adverse pregnancy outcomes in Jordanian women with periodontal disease 
      compared to those without. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between April 2009 and June 
      2010, 277 pregnant women with no systemic diseases at gestational age < 20 weeks 
      were enrolled in the study. Dental and oral health examination was performed at 
      enrollment after demographic, medical, and obstetrical information were recorded. 
      Pregnancy outcomes were obtained by phone contact and review of medical records. 
      RESULTS: The incidence of periodontal disease in the pregnant women enrolled was 
      31%. Women with PD were at higher risk for developing preeclampsia (PE), preterm 
      birth (PB), and low birth weight (LBW). The rate of PE in women with PD was 18.6% 
      compared to 7.3% in the control group (p = 0.005) (OR = 2.7, 95% CI: 1.2, 6.0). 
      The OR for PB was (4.4, 95% CI: 1.7, 11.7) and for LBW was (3.5, 95% CI: 1.6, 
      7.5). CONCLUSIONS: PD is associated with increased risk of PE, PB, and LBW in 
      healthy Jordanian women.
