Ask ChatGPT about the research

The effect of lead exposure on rate of spontaneous abortion of workers at a battery factory was studied. The study comprised 25 male workers in a leadsmelter and controls of 24 male university employees without any known occupational exposure to toxic agent. The most interesting outcome of the present study has been the discovery of high incidence of spontaneous abortion in lead-exposed workers compared to that of controls. Comparative evaluation between smokers and non-smokers with respect to the incidence of spontaneous abortion does not exhibit any statistically significant variations in lead-exposed workers and controls as well. However, such findings are considered to be indicative of the possible existence of a genetic risk and sufficient for justifying further work on a wider scale of risk assessment and occupational hazard in Jordan.

Research summary
تدرس هذه الورقة تأثير التعرض للرصاص على معدل الإجهاض التلقائي بين العمال في مصنع بطاريات في الأردن. شملت الدراسة 25 عاملاً في مصنع صهر الرصاص و24 موظفاً جامعياً غير معرضين لأي مواد سامة معروفة. أظهرت النتائج أن العمال المعرضين للرصاص لديهم معدل أعلى من الإجهاض التلقائي مقارنة بالمجموعة الضابطة. لم تظهر فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية بين المدخنين وغير المدخنين فيما يتعلق بمعدل الإجهاض التلقائي. تشير هذه النتائج إلى وجود خطر جيني محتمل يستدعي إجراء المزيد من الأبحاث على نطاق أوسع لتقييم المخاطر المهنية في الأردن.
Critical review
دراسة نقدية: على الرغم من أن الدراسة تقدم نتائج هامة حول تأثير التعرض للرصاص على الصحة الإنجابية، إلا أن حجم العينة الصغيرة قد يحد من قوة النتائج الإحصائية. كما أن الدراسة لم تأخذ في الاعتبار العوامل البيئية والاجتماعية الأخرى التي قد تؤثر على معدل الإجهاض التلقائي. من المهم إجراء دراسات مستقبلية تشمل عينات أكبر وتأخذ في الاعتبار هذه العوامل المتعددة للحصول على نتائج أكثر دقة وشمولية.
