進入《中英對照讀新聞》Bowel problems "pregnancy risk"腸子問題是懷孕風險
◎ 鄭寺音
Inflammatory bowel disease doubles the risk of pregnancy complications, a study says.
一份研究說，發炎性腸道疾病讓懷孕期併發症風險加倍。
Researchers found women with disorders such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis were more likely to have underweight and premature babies.
研究人員發現，有克隆氏症與潰瘍性結腸炎等疾病的女性，較可能生出體重不足與早產的嬰兒。
The team from St Mary’s Hospital in London analysed 12 studies published over the last 20 years, the Gut journal reported. The studies analysed almost 4,000 women with either Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis and more than 320,000 people without such conditions.
Gut期刊報導，倫敦聖瑪莉醫院的團隊分析了12份過去20年間刊登的研究。研究分析將近4000名不是有克隆氏症，就是有潰瘍性結腸炎的女性，以及32萬多名沒有這類疾病的人。
The results showed that women with the disorders were almost twice as likely to have a child born prematurely, and more than twice as likely to have a child born below normal weight.
結果顯示，有這兩種疾病的女性，可能生出早產兒的機率多了將近一倍，孩子低於正常體重的可能性則多出一倍以上。
Premature and low birthweight babies run the risk of developmental problems and a greater likelihood of serious chronic illness.
早產與出生體重輕的嬰兒，有發育問題的危險，也較可能出現嚴重的慢性疾病。
