Ciencias Médicas y de la SaludPreeclampsiaMicroplasticsPlacentaEnvironmental ExposurePregnancy ComplicationsBisphenol ASalud públicaInvestigación médicaEmbarazoTablasIntroducción: La contaminación por microplásticos (MP) representa una crisis ambiental global con implicaciones en salud humana. Estos fragmentos poliméricos (<5 mm) han sido detectados en múltiples tejidos humanos incluyendo la placenta; la evidencia señala múltiples mecanismos de toxicidad y capacidad para inducir estrés oxidativo, disrupción endocrina e inflamación lo que sugiere potencial relación con complicaciones obstétricas. La preeclampsia (PE), que afecta del 2 al 8% de las gestantes, presenta una fisiopatología en la que la placentación anormal, la inflamación sistémica y la disfunción endotelial convergen en mecanismos similares a los inducidos por MP. A pesar de la plausibilidad biológica, no existen estudios en humanos que evalúen directamente la asociación entre MP placentarios y PE, en poblaciones latinoamericanas. Objetivo: Determinar la asociación entre preeclampsia y presencia de microplásticos en placentas humanas en gestantes atendidas en un hospital de referencia en Caldas, Colombia 2024-2025. Métodos: Estudio observacional analítico transversal de casos y controles. Se incluyeron 192 gestantes (48 casos con diagnóstico de PE y 144 controles sin PE) que finalizaron su gestación por parto vaginal o cesárea en el SES-Hospital Universitario de Caldas entre mayo 2024 y septiembre 2025. Los criterios de exclusión comprendieron embarazos múltiples, fetos con malformaciones genéticas, datos incompletos y pacientes menores de edad. Se recolectaron variables sociodemográficas (edad, escolaridad, procedencia, régimen de aseguramiento), clínicas (paridad, IMC, antecedentes patológicos) y obstétricas (edad gestacional, vía del parto, peso fetal). Las muestras placentarias (cotiledón, membranas y cordón umbilical) fueron digeridas siguiendo el protocolo descrito por Ragusa, luego fueron procesadas mediante digestión enzimática y analizadas mediante espectroscopia infrarroja por transformada de Fourier (FTIR) y microscopía electrónica de barrido (SEM) para identificación polimérica. La exposición principal se definió como presencia/ausencia de MP en placenta. El análisis estadístico incluyó regresión logística binaria ajustada por edad materna, paridad, estado civil, escolaridad, régimen y procedencia, reportando odds ratios (OR) con intervalos de confianza del 95% (IC95%). Se consideró significancia estadística con p<0.05. Resultados: La prevalencia global de MP en placentas fue 90.6% (174/192). La distribución por grupos mostró 85.4% (41/48) de MP en casos versus 92.4% (133/144) en controles. El análisis bivariado no demostró asociación significativa (p=0.161, prueba exacta de Fisher), con OR crudo de 0.48 (IC95% 0.17-1.33). El modelo multivariado ajustado confirmó la ausencia de asociación (OR ajustado=0.57; IC95% 0.19-1.66; p=0.306). Los polímeros predominantes fueron polietileno (47.4%, n=91) y polipropileno (29.2%, n=56). Se identificó tendencia no significativa hacia mayor riesgo con poliacrilonitrilos (OR crudo=4.73; IC95% 0.77-29.22; p=0.101) y poliestirenos (OR crudo=2.67; IC95% 0.78-9.20; p=0.146). Las pacientes con PE presentaron mayor frecuencia de cesáreas (58.3% vs 22.2%; p<0.0001) y menor peso fetal (2.845 g vs 3.135 g; p<0.0001). Conclusión: No se demostró asociación estadísticamente significativa entre presencia de microplásticos en placenta y desarrollo de preeclampsia. La prevalencia casi universal del contaminante (90,6%) limitó la capacidad discriminativa del análisis dicotómico. Los resultados sugieren que futuras investigaciones requieren metodologías cuantitativas (concentraciones, tamaño de partículas) y diseños prospectivos para evaluar adecuadamente la relación entre exposición a MP y complicaciones obstétricas. La detección de poliacrilonitrilos y poliestirenos con tendencia a mayor riesgo, aunque no significativa, amerita exploración en cohortes ampliadas con análisis toxicológico diferencial por tipo polimérico.Here is the translation into academic English, optimized for scientific publication: Introduction: Microplastic (MP) contamination represents a global environmental crisis with implications for human health. These polymeric fragments (<5 mm) have been detected in multiple human tissues, including the placenta; evidence indicates various mechanisms of toxicity and the capacity to induce oxidative stress, endocrine disruption, and inflammation, suggesting a potential link to obstetric complications. Preeclampsia (PE), which affects 2% to 8% of pregnant women, presents a pathophysiology in which abnormal placentation, systemic inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction converge in mechanisms similar to those induced by MPs. Despite biological plausibility, no human studies exist that directly evaluate the association between placental MPs and PE in Latin American populations. Objective: To determine the association between preeclampsia and the presence of microplastics in human placentas among pregnant women treated at a reference hospital in Caldas, Colombia, 2024–2025. Methods: This was a cross-sectional analytical observational case-control study. The study included 192 pregnant women (48 cases with a PE diagnosis and 144 controls without PE) who completed their pregnancy via vaginal delivery or cesarean section at SES-Hospital Universitario de Caldas between May 2024 and September 2025. Exclusion criteria included multiple pregnancies, fetuses with genetic malformations, incomplete data, and underage patients. Sociodemographic (age, education level, origin, insurance regime), clinical (parity, BMI, pathological history), and obstetric variables (gestational age, delivery route, fetal weight) were collected. Placental samples (cotyledon, membranes, and umbilical cord) were digested following the protocol described by Ragusa, then processed via enzymatic digestion and analyzed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for polymer identification. The primary exposure was defined as the presence/absence of MPs in the placenta. Statistical analysis included binary logistic regression adjusted for maternal age, parity, marital status, education level, regime, and origin, reporting odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Statistical significance was considered at p<0.05. Results: The global prevalence of MPs in placentas was 90.6% (174/192). Distribution by groups showed 85.4% (41/48) of MPs in cases versus 92.4% (133/144) in controls. Bivariate analysis demonstrated no significant association (p=0.161, Fisher's exact test), with a crude OR of 0.48 (95% CI 0.17–1.33). The adjusted multivariate model confirmed the absence of association (adjusted OR=0.57; 95% CI 0.19–1.66; p=0.306). The predominant polymers were polyethylene (47.4%, n=91) and polypropylene (29.2%, n=56). A non-significant trend toward higher risk was identified with polyacrylonitriles (crude OR=4.73; 95% CI 0.77–29.22; p=0.101) and polystyrenes (crude OR=2.67; 95% CI 0.78–9.20; p=0.146). PE patients presented a higher frequency of cesarean sections (58.3% vs 22.2%; p<0.0001) and lower fetal weight (2,845 g vs 3,135 g; p<0.0001). Conclusion: No statistically significant association was demonstrated between the presence of microplastics in the placenta and the development of preeclampsia. The nearly universal prevalence of the contaminant (90.6%) limited the discriminative capacity of the dichotomous analysis. The results suggest that future research requires quantitative methodologies (concentrations, particle size) and prospective designs to adequately evaluate the relationship between MP exposure and obstetric complications. The detection of polyacrylonitriles and polystyrenes with a trend toward higher risk, although not significant, warrants exploration in expanded cohorts with differential toxicological analysis by polymer type.Resumen -- Introducción -- Planteamiento del problema y justificación -- Antecedentes -- Marco teórico -- Definición de microplásticos -- Clasificación de microplásticos -- Clasificación según origen: microplásticos primarios y secundarios -- Clasificación según tamaño -- Clasificación según morfología -- Clasificación según composición química -- Aditivos químicos en plásticos -- Bisfenol a (bpa) -- Ftalatos -- Retardantes bromados de llama -- Mecanismos de lixiviación de aditivos -- Fuentes comunes de exposición humana a microplásticos -- Agua de consumo -- Alimentos -- Aire ambiente -- Vías de exposición humana -- Ingestión -- Inhalación -- Absorción dérmica -- Evidencia de microplásticos en tejidos humanos y animales -- Detección en múltiples órganos y sistemas humanos -- Microplásticos en placenta humana y tejidos fetales -- La placenta humana -- Anatomía y fisiología básica -- Función de barrera y de intercambio -- Importancia en el desarrollo fetal -- Microplásticos en placenta -- Vías de entrada de microplásticos a la unidad fetoplacentaria -- Transporte transplacentario y permeabilidad de la barrera -- Mecanismos de endocitosis trofoblástica -- Homología de los microplásticos con el transporte de material particulado fino (pm ≤ 2.5 μm) -- Toxicidad placentaria: fisiopatología molecular y su nexo con la preeclampsia -- Estrés oxidativo y disfunción mitocondrial del trofoblasto -- Daño a barreras epiteliales e inflamación crónica -- Disrupción endocrina -- Alteración de la angiogénesis -- Preeclampsia -- Definición -- Criterios diagnósticos -- Clasificación -- Fisiopatología -- Factores de riesgo -- Implicaciones de la preeclampsia en la salud materna y fetal -- Complicaciones maternas -- Complicaciones fetales y neonatales -- Objetivos -- General -- Específicos -- Metodología -- Tipo de estudio -- Hipótesis -- Hipótesis nula -- Hipótesis alterna -- Población de estudio -- Muestra -- Criterios de inclusión y exclusión -- Definición de caso -- Definición de control -- Criterios de exclusión -- Definición operacional de las variables -- Técnicas e instrumentos de recolección de la información -- Recolección y procesamiento de muestras -- Análisis estadístico -- Consideraciones éticas -- Resultados -- Características sociodemográficas y clínicas -- Categoría -- N -- % -- Desenlaces obstétricos -- Presencia de microplásticos en placentas humanas -- Descripción de microplásticos encontrados -- Relación entre características sociodemográficas y presencia de microplásticos -- Asociación entre preeclampsia y presencia de microplásticos -- Discusión -- Prevalencia de microplásticos en placentas humanas -- Tipos de polímeros identificados -- Asociación con preeclampsia -- Implicaciones clínicas -- Contribución científica -- Aspecto social y ambiental -- Conclusiones -- Referencias bibliográficas -- AnexosEspecializaciónEstudio observacional, analítico, prospectivo, transversal, con diseño de casos y controles.
