Comparing Folic Acid Dosage Strengths to Prevent Reduction in Fetal Size Among Pregnant Women Who Smoked Cigarettes
March 18, 2019
Cumulative evidence supports a causal association between tobacco use in pregnancy and intrauterine growth restriction, and a plausible association between smoking and low levels of maternal folic acid. Given this evidence, we conducted a double-blind, randomized clinical trial to determine the efficacy of higher-dose folic acid in preventing a reduction in fetal body size among infants of women who smoked tobacco cigarettes during pregnancy.
