Introduction
Lead poisoning is the most common preventable cause of neurotoxicity in children
Associated with impaired cognitive, motor, and behavioral abilities
Binns et al Advisory Committee on Childhood Lead poisoning , Pediatrics 2007
![Page 5: Disclosure Statement](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568159aa550346895dc70dc2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Introduction-continued
In 1991,CDC defined the BLL of concern to be 10 mcg/dl
Advisory Committee on CLP concluded that there is no safe BLL.
BLL<10 have been associated with decreased scores on psychometric tests in children
Dietrich et al,Treatment of Lead exposed children in clinical trial, Pediatrics 2004)

Lead And The Brain
Pb disrupts synapse formation Increases transmitter release Decreases stimulated transmitter
release Interferes with neurotransmission Decreases synapse formation Decreases neuron growth
Johnston et al Current Opinions Neurology 1998
![Page 23: Disclosure Statement](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568159aa550346895dc70dc2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Is there a safe BLL?
2002-2004, CDC LPPC analyzed 23 reports on 16 populations and concluded that
BLL →1/ Cognitive function
![Page 24: Disclosure Statement](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568159aa550346895dc70dc2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Is there a safe BLL- continued
IQ decreases more than 7 points over the first 10 mcg/dl increase in lifetime average BLL
Likely causal association NO SAFE BLL
![Page 25: Disclosure Statement](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568159aa550346895dc70dc2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Lead in Pregnancy
0.5% women still have BLL more than 10mcg/dl
Pb moves freely from mother to baby by diffusion and there is net accretion over time
Results in babies that are growth restricted, delayed dentition and adverse neurological outcomes
Gardella Obst and Gyn Survey 2001
![Page 26: Disclosure Statement](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568159aa550346895dc70dc2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Routine Prenatal Screening??
Argue that this identifies at risk women and remove the lead sources to decrease neonatal morbidity
Don’t know how to respond to the blood screens. Who responds?
Chelation well tolerated by mothers but it mobilizes Pb stores and can potentially increase transmission to the fetus
![Page 27: Disclosure Statement](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568159aa550346895dc70dc2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Recommended Lead Risk Assessment Questions for Pregnant Women
Were you born, or have you spent any time, outside of the United States?
In NYC, approximately 95% of identified lead-poisoned pregnant women are foreign-born. Countries of birth in descending order of frequency include Mexico, India, Bangladesh, Russia, Pakistan, Ecuador, Haiti, Jamaica,
Morocco, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Guyana, El Salvador, Gambia, Ghana, Honduras, Israel, Ivory
Coast, Korea, Nepal, Sierra Leone, and Trinidad. During the past 12 months, did you use any imported health
remedies, spices, foods, ceramics, or cosmetics? At any time during your pregnancy, did you eat, chew on, or mouth
non-food items such as clay, crushed pottery, soil, or paint chips? In the last 12 months, has there been any renovation or repair work in
your home or apartment building? Have you ever had a job or hobby that involved possible lead
exposure, such as home renovation or working with glass, ceramics, or jewelry?
![Page 28: Disclosure Statement](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568159aa550346895dc70dc2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Anticipatory Guidance and Risk Reduction Education For Pregnant Women
Avoid using health remedies, spices, foods, or cosmetics from other countries.
Avoid using clay pots and dishes from other countries to cook, serve, or store food and do not use pottery that is chipped or cracked.
Never eat non-food items such as clay, soil, pottery, or paint chips.
Stay away from any repair work being done in the home.
Avoid jobs or hobbies that may involve contact with lead, such as home renovation or working with glass, ceramics, or jewelry.

Management Options
Chelation of mother Prenatal Postnatal
Chelation of newborn Role of prenatal counseling, induction,
termination Timing of lead screening
Breastfeeding Role of exchange transfusion in the
newborn with extremely elevated BLL
![Page 30: Disclosure Statement](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568159aa550346895dc70dc2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Why concentrate on the Newborn?
Chelation at 12 months should improve outcome DB Placebo controlled 1994-2003, multiple centers
(n=800) Randomized and stratified by BLL and language to
treatment or placebo Tested at 7 years All kids received lead control measures Results: Chelation decreased BLL for 6 months with NO
benefit in cognition, behavior and neuromotor end points SO PREVENTION is the only way
Rogan et al Pediatrics 2007
![Page 31: Disclosure Statement](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568159aa550346895dc70dc2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Strategies to Enhance Development
Elevated BLL does not guarantee problems
Greater impact on the at risk children i.e. those with other environmental, genetic, biological, social risk factors. Nurture them. Early intervention
![Page 32: Disclosure Statement](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568159aa550346895dc70dc2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Strategies to Decrease Exposure
4.1 million homes have lead paint Home inspection limited to children with
elevated BLL Funds to repair not available Case management to homes with BLL>10 Relocating families during renovation,
containing dust Screen at risk 12mth, 24 mths, (36 to 72
mths) Education

Conclusion
No consensus on managing the results of a gestational screen
Focus should be on education of target population to decrease lead exposure
