      Abstract

      Irisin is an important crosstalk myokine between adipose and muscle tissue. Disorders in irisin secretion can lead to fetal growth abnormalities and even lead to metabolic syndromes in adult life. This study aimed to evaluate the association between irisin level in umbilical cord blood and maternal serum with neonatal birthweight. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) statement and the Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guideline were followed. A comprehensive search of eight databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CBM, CNKI, WANFANG and VIP) was performed from inception to November 2019. Studies with original date reporting irisin levels in newborns of small for gestational age (SGA) and newborns of large for gestational age (LGA) were included. Additionally, studies reporting correlation coefficients of irisin with birthweight were analyzed. Newcastle-Ottawa score system and Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach were applied. Seventeen studies with 1866 participants were included. Pooled analysis indicated decreased cord irisin levels in SGA newborns (MD -10.57, 95 % CI -13.41 to -7.73) and increased irisin levels in LGA newborns (MD 3.80, 95 % CI 1.91–5.70). Umbilical cord irisin level was positively correlated with neonatal birthweight (r = 0.41 95 %CI 0.04 to 0.68). The pooled correlation coefficient of maternal serum irisin with birthweight has no statistical significance. This meta-analysis suggested that the umbilical cord irisin levels were impaired in fetal growth abnormalities. Umbilical cord blood irisin level was positively correlated with birthweight.
