Research Article: Maternal cobalt concentration and risk of spontaneous preterm birth: the role of fasting blood glucose and lipid profiles
Abstract:
Introduction: Spontaneous preterm birth (SPB) is a significant cause of neonatal mortality, yet its etiology remains unclear. Cobalt, an essential trace element, might be a risk factor for SPB. This study aims to investigate the relationship between maternal serum cobalt concentration and SPB, and to clarify the role of blood lipids and fasting blood glucose (FBG) in this relationship.
