Abstract

Objective To explore the association between birth weight and the risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods The studies were searched through Medline, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and the retrieving deadline was 2014.Search terms included "acute lymphoblastic leukemia", "childhood", "birth weight".The information of birth weight was extracted, and the quality of the studies was evaluated.STATA12.0 software package was used to calculate the OR and CI 95%, heterogeneity, sensitivity and publication bias of the Meta-analysis. Results A total of 16 studies included 16 934 childhood ALL case and 54 733 control were identified.The Results suggested that there was association between birth weight and the risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia[≥2 500 g vs <2 500 g(OR=1.17, 95%CI=1.07~1.28), ≥3 500 g vs <3 500 g(OR=1.12, 95%CI=1.04~1.22), ≥4 000 g vs <4 000 g(OR=1.20, 95%CI=1.12~1.27), ≥4 500 g vs <4 500 g(OR=1.27, 95%CI=1.09~1.47)]. Conclusion There is association between birth weight and the risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and the high birth weight is the risk factor of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
