Maternal and perinatal factors are associated with risk of pediatric central nervous system tumors and poorer survival after diagnosis

Abstract Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the most common solid tumors in children. Findings on the role of maternal and perinatal factors on the susceptibility or outcome of these tumors are inconclusive. Therefore, we investigated the association between these early-life factors, risk, and...

Information on pediatric CNS tumor cases (n = 1950) for the period 1995–2011 was obtained from the Texas Cancer Registry. Birth certificate controls were frequency-matched on birth year at a ratio of 10:1 for the same period. Evaluated maternal and perinatal variables were obtained from birth records.

The results indicated that Hispanic and non-Hispanic black mothers were less likely to have children with CNS tumors compared to non-Hispanic white mothers (OR 0.88 [95% CI 0.78–0.98] P-value = 0.019; OR 0.79 [95% CI 0.67–0.93 P-value = 0.004], respectively). Infants born large for gestational age (OR 1.26 [95% CI 1.07–1.47] P-value = 0.004) and those delivered pre-term (OR 1.19 [95% CI 1.04–1.38] P-value = 0.013) showed an increased risk of CNS tumors. Infants born by vaginal forceps or vacuum delivery had a higher risk of CNS tumors compared to those born by spontaneous vaginal delivery (OR 1.35 [95% CI 1.12–1.62] P-value = 0.002). Additionally, offspring of Hispanic and non-Hispanic black mothers showed a higher risk of death (HR 1.45 [95% CI 1.16–1.80] P-value = 0.001; HR 1.53 [95% CI 1.12–2.09] P-value = 0.008, respectively).
