About this study

Official title: Clinical Study of the Effect of Gestational Weight Gain on Composition of Gut Microbiome

A prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study including about 550 mother-infant pairs in Beijing will be conducted to evaluate the association between mothers' gestational weight gain and the gut microbiota of them and their infants.

Read the detailed description

Purpose To evaluate whether mothers' gestational weight gain is associated with differences in maternal and their infants gut microbiota characteristics.

Methods and analysis This is a prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study including about 550 mother-infant pairs from PUMCH and other 3 hospitals in Beijing. After signing consent form, every participant will bring home a weighting scale for checking and record the weight every week from they enrolled to a year postpartum. The blood samples, fecal samples, vaginal swabs and oral swabs of the mothers will be collected at first, second, third trimester and postpartum 42 days. The infants' fecal samples will be collected at 0~3, 14, 42 days and 3, 6, 9, 12 months after born. Questionnaire for mothers (diet, exercise, antibiotic and probiotic usage, oral hygiene habits etc.) and their infants (delivery mode, feeding pattern, antibiotic and probiotic usage etc.), as well as the medical records will be collected along with the sample collecting. Bio-specimen will be tested by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Logistical regression and covariance analysis will be used to determine the relationships between the demographic data, gestational weight gain and microbiota composition.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
appropriate GWG group2009 IOM criteria recommended an appropriate range of weight gain during pregnancy and during each pregnant trimester according to BMI. The participants whose GWG value is in the recommended normal range is in this group.
excess GWG group2009 IOM criteria recommended an appropriate range of weight gain during pregnancy and during each pregnant trimester according to BMI. The participants whose GWG value is over the upper limit of the recommended normal range is in this group.
insufficient GWG group2009 IOM criteria recommended an appropriate range of weight gain during pregnancy and during each pregnant trimester according to BMI. The participants whose GWG value is below the lower limit of the recommended normal range is in this group.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. maternal gut microbiota, vaginal microbiota, oral microbiota

    The outcome will be measured at first, second and third trimester, as well as 42 days postpartum.

    Measured: From enrollment to 42 days postpartum

  2. gut microbiota infants

    The outcome will be measured at seven specific time points after the babies delivered.

    Measured: From delivery to 1 year postpartum.
