  1. Facteurs de risque de mauvais développement psychomoteur de l’enfant au Benin(Riskfactors for poor cognitive development of children in Benin) Michael Osei MIREKU Supervisor: Michel COT Co-supervisor: Florence BODEAU-LIVINEC

  2. Background and Context Cognitive Development • Neurological and psychological development of a child • Motor (Gross and Fine) • Language (Receptive and Expressive) • Visual Reception • Measurement • Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID) • Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) • (Hoqueet al., 2012 and Akshoomoff, 2006 ) Risk factors • Genetic Disorders- Sickle cell anemia • (Thompson et al., 2002) • Childhood under nutrition • Iron deficiency/ Anemia in children • Preterm births and low birth weight (LBW) • Environmental factors • Socio-economic factors

  3. Background and Context cont’d Anemia Etiology • Genetics – Sickle cell, G6PD deficiency disease • Infections – Malaria, Helminthes, HIV • Nutritional – Iron, Folate, Vit. B12 deficiencies Health Consequences • Increased risk of maternal morbidity and mortality (Schmiegelow et al., 2012) • Infant mortality, Low birth weight, Preterm birth Control and Prevention • Genetics – Antibiotherapyand analgesics • Infections –Artemesin-based drugs, ITMNs, Albendazole-based drugs • Nutritional – Iron, Folate, Vit. B12 supplements G6PD (Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) ITMNs-Insecticide treated mosquito nets

  4. Background and Context cont’d Prevalence in Africa 57.1% among pregnant women 67.6% among preschool children Source: WHO, 2008

  5. Hypothesis Preterm delivery, LBW, IDA in children • Few studies on maternal folic acid deficiency and cognitive outcomes • Few studies on lead in childhood, ID and child development ??? Maternal anemia (Maternal ID) Poor cognitive Development ID- Iron deficiency

  6. Objectives Main To identify maternal and childhood risk factors associated with poor cognitive development of children in Benin Specific • To determine : • the effect of maternal anemia and maternal iron deficiency on the cognitive development of children in Benin at age 1 year • the effect of maternal folic acid deficiency on the cognitive development of children in Benin at age 1 year • the impact of lead exposure on the cognitive development of children in Benin at age 1 year

  7. Methods: Flow Diagram of Study 1008inclusions 3exclusions : - 1HIV+ - 1uterus malformation - 1gestationalage>28 weeks 1005women ANC1 (IPT1) 27 out of the study: - 16refusal - 7lost-to-follow-up - 4 migrations 978womenANC2 (IPT2) 37 out: - 17refusal - 4lost-to-follow-up - 16 migrations 941womenfolloweduntildelivery (Ouedraogo, 2012) 637 children already assessed with Mullen at one year of age (71% of follow-up) so far…..

  8. Methods (2) Study Design Setting & Participants • Cohort • Allada, Benin (Rural community) • Pregnant women and their children (1 year old) • Infants (at birth and at 1 year) • Anthropometric measurements, gender, Hbconcentration, sickle cell status, cognitive function (MSEL)… • Maternal • Age, SES, gravidity, malaria, malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, complications during pregnancy, Hb concentration (3x)… Data Collection (concluded by Jan. 2013) Analysis • Stata IC11, SAS • Crude Analysis • Identify confounders using DAGS • Multivariate Analysis

  9. Draft Time Table

  10. Relevance of Study • Second study on the association between maternal anemia and cognitive development after only one small existing study . (Vaughn et.al, 1986) • Help inform policy makers on appropriate interventions during pregnancy • Contribute to the growing knowledge on risk factors of cognitive development in children

  13. Definitions Anemia • Hb concentration< 110 g / L • Inflammation : • CRP ≥ 6mg/mL • Iron deficiency: • ferritin < 12 µg / L ou 12 µg/L ≥ ferritin ≤ 30 µg/L et CRP+ • Folate deficiency: • folate < 6,6 ng / L • Vitamine B12 deficiency : • vitamine B12 < 150 pg / L • Iron deficiency anemia: • Anemia+iron deficiency • Micronutrients deficiencies Ouedraogo S. 2012

  15. Methods: Cohort of pregnanct women MiPPAD and APEC (PI: Michel Cot) Birth cohort study in Benin 1005 pregnant women included in a trial funded by the European Commission comparing 2 IPTp: sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine and mefloquine Study of risk factors for anemia during pregnancy (malaria, helminths, iron deficiency, folate deficiency, vitamine B12 deficiency)

  16. Variables in pregnant women At the time of recruitment: parity, gestational age, MUAC (middle upper-arm circumference), maternal weight and height and demographic and socio-economic data Malaria (parasite density and placental infection), other parasitizes (helminthes), multiple pregnancy, urinary tract infection, sickle cell disease, micronutrients deficiency, under nutrition (body mass index), poor antenatal care Anemia: Anemia will be defined as hemoglobin <110 g/l and severe anemia as hemoglobin <80 g/l Iron-deficiency anemia: serum ferritin C-reactive protein (CRP)

  17. Variables in infants At 1, 9 and 12 months (within the trial): Mortality Anthropometric measurements Blood assessments: malaria, other infections, nutrition, Hb, ferritin, helminthes, folic acid, vitamin B12 At 12 months (within the R21): Development assessment MSEL: Mullen Scales of Early Learning, Ten Questions Questionnaire Maternal depression, parent-child interaction (HOME), maternal non-verbal IQ (Raven) Blood lead

  18. Mothers characteristics (from SmailaOuedraogo’s PhD)

  19. Model 1 adjusted for potential confounding factors: If question Causes of anemia and cognitive function: socio-economic status, mother nutrition, prenatal infections (including malaria) ? Anemia in pregnancy Cognitive function in childhood Total effect Common causes Infant nutrition (including breastfeeding), anemia and iron-deficiency at 12 months, malaria in infancy

  20. To explore mechanisms Model 2 adjusted for: Potential confounding factors (as described in model 1) And for or stratified by: Potential confounding and/or intermediate factors: anemia at birth, prematurity, LBW ? Cognitive function in childhood Anemia in pregnancy Direct effect
