Case-control analysis of maternal prenatal analgesic use and cardiovascular malformations: Baltimore-Washington Infant Study
2014, American Journal of Obstetrics and GynecologyCitation Excerpt :However, >90% of the home interviews for both cases and controls were completed within 12 months of the infant's birth and the interview questions related drug use to specific medical indications.10,29 A low likelihood of recall bias is also suggested by a previous analysis of reported drug use within the BWIS data, which showed no significant differences between the number of drugs reported by the time elapsed between delivery and interview.13 As the time period of exposure spans up to 3 months before the last menstrual period, there may be a bias towards the null, as the half-life of most analgesics is <30 hours.30
Effect of endogenous steroid hormones on 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate metabolism
2013, American Journal of Obstetrics and GynecologyCitation Excerpt :In addition to the 17-OHPC/endogenous steroid interaction that was observed, both body mass index and race have been shown to impact the concentration of 17-OHPC in patients with a twin gestation who received a standard dose of the medication.2 Also, several commonly prescribed medications in pregnancy are also substrates, inhibitors, and/or inducers of CYP3A4.18-21 These factors may also contribute to the large interindividual variability that was observed in 17-OHPC plasma concentrations.
The effect of using the health smart card vs. CPOE reminder system on the prescribing practices of non-obstetric physicians during outpatient visits for pregnant women in Taiwan
2012, International Journal of Medical InformaticsCitation Excerpt :Therefore, according to the result of this study, we estimate that there might be around 50,000 pregnant women every year receive medications that are harmful to the developing fetus, which is about 25% of all total pregnancies. Although this figure is still lower than for the US and France [8–16], important problems still remains. During the study, we found that an emergency setting had a significant effect.
Prescription Drug Use in Pregnancy: A Retrospective, Population-Based Study in British Columbia, Canada (2001-2006)
2012, Clinical TherapeuticsCitation Excerpt :Far fewer studies have examined antenatal prescription drug use in the North American context, and among those that have been published, estimates of use range widely: 27% to 64% of pregnant women using at least 1 medicine,7–11 and 4.0% to 6.5% using at least 1 medicine with the potential for fetal harm as defined by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classification system or an expert panel.8,9,11,12 Studies in the United States and Canada have been limited to random or convenience samples of specific health centers9,10,13 or to populations of women covered by particular public or private insurance plans.8,11,14 Variation in the sampled populations and methodologies used to obtain these estimates raise questions about generalizability and make it difficult to confidently draw conclusions about the extent and patterns of antenatal drug use in North America.
