United Press International
HILTON HEAD, S C. — A new
study shows a mother’s smoking
signifieantly increases the risk of
miscarriage and crib death, but does
not affect a child’s intelligence or
long-term growth.
“There’s no reason for mothers
with children who have school prob
lems to be blaming themselves for
smoking during pregnancy, said
Dr. Richard L. Naeye, chairman of
pathology at Pennsylvania State
University’s Hershel Medical Cen
ter.
Naeye said that some of his find
ings, based on a four-year analysis of
the records of 53,518 pregnancies,
were so new they were not included
in the surgeon general s new report
on smoking.
Naeye released his findings Tues
day at an American Heart Associa
tion meeting saying that there is no
question that women who smoke
have an increased number of mis
carriages, and he said there was no
doubt their offspring had more
major birth defects.
“The most controversial area is
the relationship of cigarette smoking
to congenital anomalies (birth de
fects), ’ he said. “We found a very
strong relationship between eiga-

But Naeye said the societal im
pact of these major birth defects was
not great because most of the af
fected infants died before or im
mediately following birth.
After eliminating a variety of
other factors that might have a role
in miscarriages, Naeye said he and
his co-workers determined that

the risk of three disorders that cause
miscarriages.
These include premature separa
tion of the placenta (increased by 65
percent by a mother s smoking), a
blood incompatibility known as Rh
disease (up 81 percent by smoking)
and major birth defects (up 43 per
cent).
The placenta is the organ that
connects the fetus to the uterus.
Naeye said a mother s smoking
history also influences a disorder in
which the placenta implants in the
wrong place on the wall of the
mother’s uterus. This can cause
hemorrhaging affecting both mother
and fetus.
He said smoking also increases
