Micronutrient supplementation during pregnancy and the risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension: A randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background & aims

Increasing evidence suggests that iron-containing multiple micronutrient may reduce the risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension including gestational hypertension or preeclampsia. We aimed to examine whether 30 mg iron plus folic acid or multiple micronutrients during pregnancy reduces the risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension.

Methods

We conducted a secondary data analysis by the dataset from a double-blind randomized controlled trial in China from 2006 to 2009 that was conducted to investigate the effects of multiple micronutrient supplements on adverse pregnancy outcomes when provided to pregnant women with no/mild anemia. We used logistic regression to estimate the adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval and test for effect modification.
