Association study of umbilical cord serum per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure with birth outcomes: A meta-analysis

This meta-analysis demonstrates that PFAS concentrations in cord serum are significantly associated with gestational age, as well as neonatal head circumference and birth length. However, whether these findings might translate into an elevated risk of abnormal birth outcomes associated with PFAS concentration in cord serum warrants further investigation.

Abstract

This meta-analysis demonstrates that PFAS concentrations in cord serum are significantly associated with gestational age, as well as neonatal head circumference and birth length. However, whether these findings might translate into an elevated risk of abnormal birth outcomes associated with PFAS concentration in cord serum warrants further investigation.
