Abstract

Alcohol is a teratogen that crosses the placenta. While studies have estimated the global burden of alcohol use in pregnancy, reliable and valid data on alcohol consumption during pregnancy in many countries is lacking. Alcohol consumption per capita (APC) data are available worldwide. This systematic review, by investigating the association between APC and alcohol consumption in pregnancy by country, aims to evaluate the accuracy of using APC data to predict the prevalence of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE).
