Title
Mercury, infertility and time-to-conception: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Review Question
Is elevated mercury as measured by biomarkers associated with infertility or time-to-conception?
Study Type Included
We will include cohort studies, cross-sectional studies and case-control studies. We do not expect any experimental studies will be relevant due to the harmful nature of the exposure of interest. Clinical reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and case reports will be excluded.
Condition Being Studied
The association between mercury exposure and reproductive health outcomes
Participant
Inclusion: Adults (male or female) attempting to conceive naturally or through artificial reproductive technology. Exclusion: Adolescents attempting to conceive.
Animal
Human Disease Modelled
Intervention
The exposure of interest is mercury as assessed by measurement of biomarkers. Studies that assess mercury levels ascertained from individual blood, serum, plasma, hair, urine, fingernail or toenail samples will be included. Studies that estimate individual mercury exposure from the environment or through dietary questionnaires will be excluded.
Comparator Control
Individuals in the highest category of mercury exposure will be compared with individuals in the lowest category of mercury exposure. We anticipate that the precise cut-points will differ among the included studies.
Main Outcome
The primary outcomes of interest are time-to-conception (prospectively collected or retrospective recalled, infertility will be defined as > 12 months) and the in vitro fertilization outcomes of fertilization or clinical pregnancy. Studies will be excluded if they only report laboratory measures of reproductive characteristics such as hormone levels or semen characteristics. Measures of effect Studies must report risk ratios, odds ratios or hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals or report enough information that these estimates can be calculated to be included.
Outcome Measure
Additional Outcome
None.
Study Method
Epidemiologic, Meta-analysis, Systematic review
