Abstract
To evaluate whether the routinely collected data in birth defect registries could be used to assess association
between medications and risk for congenital anomalies an “exposed case-only” design was
performed.
Twelve registries provided 18,131 cases exposed to a medication during the first trimester of pregnancy
and with at least one major malformation. Odds ratios for malformations associated with maternal use
of selected medications were computed.
Among seven most commonly used medications very few significant associations with malformations
were identified. Among fourteen potentially teratogenic medications several strong associations were
found, including valproic acid with spina bifida, and insulin (as proxy for diabetes) with several types of
cardiac defects.
Finding known associations provides assurance on the validity of this approach, whereas identifying
new associations provides a signal to be followed by confirmatory studies. Through this activity, international
networks of birth defect registries can contribute with limited resources to post-marketing
surveillance of the teratogenicity of medications.
