Quantitative systematic review: Methods used for the in vivo measurement of body composition in pregnancy

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Because of the increased overall prevalence of pre‐pregnancy obesity among racial‐ethnic groups, we conducted a review of published methods for body composition measurement during pregnancy considering at present there is no consensus on the best practices and type of study design that researchers should use for this purpose.
Quantitative systematic review.
PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Virtual Library of Health. Search dates from 1997–2016.
Search of articles indexed in selected databases from 1997–2016. Studies were published in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Graphs were carried out using data visualization software.
From the 112 included studies, 70 were prospective cohorts, 30 cross‐sectional studies, 10 randomized controlled trial, and two retrospective studies. Cross‐sectional studies and randomized controlled trial depicted a positive correlation with significant trend.
Although several methods for body composition measurement exist, only bioelectrical impedance analysis, displacement plethysmography, and displacement plethysmography show a significant growing trend. Use of data visualization allows understanding various associations among categorical variables, with a graphical display of their multidimensional behaviour.
Public and private health‐care institution evaluating pregnancy women. Health‐care personnel, including nursing professional, dealing with measurements of body composition during pregnancy will find reading this manuscript beneficial.
由于孕期前肥胖在不同种族的人群中广泛存在,考虑到目前尚未出现研究员进行孕期身体成分测量的最佳实践以及最佳研究设计类型,我们评估了所有已发布的测量方法。
定量系统评估。
PubMed、EMBASE、斯高帕斯、科学网和虚拟健康图书馆数据库,查询日期范围为1997年至2016年。
在选定数据库中查询索引日期为1997年至2016年的文章。已发布研究结果所用语言涵盖英语、西班牙语和葡萄牙语。使用数据可视化软件绘制图表。
112项已开展的研究中,70项为前瞻性队列研究,30项为横向研究,10项为随机对照试验,还有2项为回顾性研究。横向研究和随机对照试验明显呈正相关趋势。
尽管有多种身体成分测量方法,但只有生物电阻抗分析法、置换体积描记术和置换体积描记术呈显著增长趋势。采用数据可视化软件可以帮助理解不同类别变量的相关性,同时还可采用图形来显示变量的多维特点。
利用公立和私立健康护理机构来评估孕妇身体状况。健康护理人员,包括护理专家,在测量孕期身体成分时会发现观察图形更加容易。
