Abstract

Several observational studies have explored the link between arsenic (As) exposure and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). However, epidemiological findings have been inconsistent, with a wide range of reported heterogeneity. This study aims to systematically evaluate the association between As exposure and IUGR (SGA(Small for gestational age), PTB(Preterm birth), LBW(Preterm birth)) through a meta-analysis. We searched six databases—China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wan Fang, VIP Database, PubMed, Web of Science, and Science Direct—for studies on As exposure and IUGR up to May 2024. After screening and data extraction, a comprehensive bias risk assessment was conducted using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS), AHRQ (the assessment tool of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality), and NTP/OHAT (the assessment tool of the National Toxicology Program/Office of Health Assessment and Translation). Meta-analysis was conducted using random-effects models (I2 > 50%) or fixed-effects models (I2
