Pregnancies with maternal antidepressant/lithium exposure were removed. Primary analyses compared gestationally exposed and gestationally nonexposed individuals with propensity score fine stratification. Additional analyses included gestationally exposed individuals vs those with past exposure and a sibling-matched analysis to evaluate the effect of confounding by indication.</p><h3>Exposures</h3><p>Prenatal antipsychotic exposure.</p><h3>Main Outcomes and Measures</h3><p>Preterm birth (&lt;37 gestational weeks), small for gestational age (birth weight &lt;2 standard deviations below the mean for gestational age), and first diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children.</p><h3>Results</h3><p>The cohorts included 333 749 mother-child pairs for ADHD (mean [SD] maternal age at delivery, 31.46 [5.03] years) and 411 251 pairs for ASD, preterm birth, and small for gestational age analyses (mean [SD] maternal age at delivery, 31.56 [5.01] years). There were 13 196 children (3.95%) with a diagnosis of ADHD, 8715 (2.12%) with ASD, 33 891 (8.24%) preterm, and 7009 (1.70%) who were small for gestational age. The weighted hazard ratio (wHR) was 1.16 (95% CI, 0.83-1.61) for ADHD and 1.06 (95% CI, 0.70-1.60) for ASD, while the weighted odds ratio (wOR) was 1.40 (95% CI, 1.13-1.75) for preterm birth and 1.36 (95% CI, 0.86-2.14) for small for gestational age when comparing gestationally exposed with gestationally nonexposed individuals. Additional analyses showed no association when comparing gestationally exposed individuals with those with past exposure (ADHD: wHR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.60-1.61; ASD: wHR, 1.10; 95% CI, 0.58-2.08; preterm birth: wOR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.70-1.24; small for gestational age: wOR, 1.21; 95% CI, 0.66-2.20) and in a sibling-matched analysis (ADHD: wHR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.04-4.93; ASD: wHR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.40-2.01; preterm birth: wOR, 1.25; 95% CI, 0.85-1.82; small for gestational age: wOR, 0.86, 95% CI, 0.32-2.31).</p><h3>Conclusions and Relevance</h3><p>In this cohort study, the findings did not suggest that prenatal antipsychotics exposure increased the risk of ADHD, ASD, or small for gestational age. In the primary analysis, there was a small increased risk of preterm birth, but additional analyses comparing gestationally exposed individuals with those with past exposure and comparing gestationally exposed with gestationally nonexposed siblings did not support an increased risk. Given the benefits of treating psychosis during pregnancy, our findings do not support a recommendation for women to discontinue receipt of their regular antipsychotic treatment during pregnancy.</p>" /><meta name="citation_journal_title" content="JAMA Internal Medicine" /><meta name="citation_journal_abbrev" content="JAMA Intern Med" /><meta name="citation_volume" content="181" /><meta name="citation_issue" content="10" /><meta name="citation_publication_date" content="2021/10/01" /><meta name="citation_issn" content="2168-6106" /><meta name="citation_publisher" content="American Medical Association" /><meta name="citation_reference" content="citation_title=Antipsychotic drug use in pregnancy: a multinational study from ten countries.;

There were 13 196 children (3.95%) with a diagnosis of ADHD, 8715 (2.12%) with ASD, 33 891 (8.24%) preterm, and 7009 (1.70%) who were small for gestational age. The weighted hazard ratio (wHR) was 1.16 (95% CI, 0.83-1.61) for ADHD and 1.06 (95% CI, 0.70-1.60) for ASD, while the weighted odds ratio (wOR) was 1.40 (95% CI, 1.13-1.75) for preterm birth and 1.36 (95% CI, 0.86-2.14) for small for gestational age when comparing gestationally exposed with gestationally nonexposed individuals. Additional analyses showed no association when comparing gestationally exposed individuals with those with past exposure (ADHD: wHR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.60-1.61; ASD: wHR, 1.10; 95% CI, 0.58-2.08; preterm birth: wOR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.70-1.24; small for gestational age: wOR, 1.21; 95% CI, 0.66-2.20) and in a sibling-matched analysis (ADHD: wHR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.04-4.93; ASD: wHR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.40-2.01; preterm birth: wOR, 1.25; 95% CI, 0.85-1.82; small for gestational age: wOR, 0.86, 95% CI, 0.32-2.31).</span></p><p><strong>Conclusions and Relevance</strong> <span>In this cohort study, the findings did not suggest that prenatal antipsychotics exposure increased the risk of ADHD, ASD, or small for gestational age. In the primary analysis, there was a small increased risk of preterm birth, but additional analyses comparing gestationally exposed individuals with those with past exposure and comparing gestationally exposed with gestationally nonexposed siblings did not support an increased risk. Given the benefits of treating psychosis during pregnancy, our findings do not support a recommendation for women to discontinue receipt of their regular antipsychotic treatment during pregnancy.</span></p> <div class="movable-ad-target bta"> </div> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="248024523"></a> <div class="h3 cb section-type-section "> <div class="heading-text thm-col sb-sc"> Introduction </div> </div> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="248024524"></a> <p class="para">Antipsychotics, including first-generation and second-generation antipsychotics, are increasingly prescribed for pregnant women<sup><a href="#ioi210045r1" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">1</a></sup><sup>,<a href="#ioi210045r2" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">2</a></sup>; however, the safety of antipsychotic use during pregnancy remains unclear.

We compared those with a past exposure with those never exposed<strong><i>.</i></strong> An increased risk of outcomes in the children of mothers among those with a past exposure indicates confounding by indication, as the infant was not exposed to antipsychotics. Similarly, gestationally exposed individuals were compared with those with past exposure to assess whether there was a difference in the risk of study outcomes. To assess the role of maternal psychiatric disorder, we restricted comparison cohorts to those never exposed. If maternal psychiatric disorder is associated with risk of outcomes in children, this introduces the possibility of confounding by indication. To focus on the population of women who were most clearly at risk for treatment with antipsychotics during pregnancy, we also compared gestationally exposed individuals with gestationally nonexposed individuals with psychiatric disorders.

These results suggest that maternal psychiatric disorders are associated with a higher risk of neurodevelopmental disorders rather than gestational exposure to antipsychotic drugs. Moreover, gestational exposure to antipsychotic drugs is unlikely to pose a significant risk of preterm birth and small for gestational age in children.

It is important in future studies to identify whether a pregnant woman with active psychotic disorders would benefit from taking antipsychotics, including effective control of psychotic symptoms and minimal adverse effects to herself, offspring, and her family.</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="248024567"></a> <div class="h4 cb section-type-section "> <div class="heading-text "> Clinical Implications and Recommendations </div> </div> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="248024568"></a> <p class="para">Our study results suggest that if pregnant women have a clinical need for antipsychotics (including first-generation and second-generation antipsychotics), clinicians should not stop administering regular treatment because of a fear of birth outcomes with ADHD, ASD, preterm birth, and small for gestational age. There has been a lengthy debate about a possible association between in-utero exposure to psychotropic medications and neurodevelopmental disorders or birth complications in children. Patients and clinicians have encountered difficulties in treating women with severe affective and psychotic disorders when trying to conceive and during pregnancy. Previous studies found that parents with psychiatric disorders are more likely to have offspring with neurodevelopmental disorders, such as ASD<sup><a href="#ioi210045r25" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">25</a></sup>; clinicians should observe on a case-by-case basis. Major adverse effects can occur if ongoing treatment is discontinued abruptly or antipsychotics are withheld during pregnancy.

To our knowledge, this is the first study to use a population-based database to identify the association between prenatal antipsychotics exposure and the risk of ADHD or ASD in children separately with adequate follow-up time. We also evaluated the association using stratification by drug class and timing of exposure. To identify the exposures, we used electronic dispensing and prescribing records, which are free from recall bias. Moreover, we used complementary negative control analyses and sibling-matched analyses to address the possibility of confounding by indication. Deterministic linkage records between mothers and children, as well as explicit gestation age records, were available in CDARS, which enhanced the accuracy and reliability of our findings.<sup><a href="#ioi210045r14" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">14</a></sup></p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="248024571"></a> <p class="para">There are also several limitations. First, CDARS only includes public health care medical records; data from private hospitals and medical practitioners cannot be captured. However, children with neurodevelopmental disorders require comprehensive long-term treatment; thus, in Hong Kong, they usually receive care from the public sector.<sup><a href="#ioi210045r26" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">26</a></sup><a name="q5"><span style="display:none;">Quiz Ref ID</span></a><span class="quizSection"> Second, poor antipsychotic adherence among patients with psychiatric disorders is common,<sup><a href="#ioi210045r27" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">27</a></sup> and we cannot confirm whether patients took the prescribed medication, which may affect the accuracy of the results.</span> We addressed the use misclassification using at least 2 prescriptions or a 56-day coverage time of prescriptions records and 1-week and 2-week prescription extension in the sensitivity analyses, which had similar results to our primary analyses. Third, CDARS is not primarily used for research purposes. Factors that may affect the risk of study outcomes, such as body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared), smoking, and alcohol consumption status are not recorded in CDARS. However, we used a complementary negative control and sibling-matched analyses, which are unlikely to affect the interpretation of our findings. Fourth, as analyses were conducted using Hong Kong population data, it is unclear whether the results are generalizable. Although our study results are consistent with previous western studies,<sup><a href="#ioi210045r10" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">10</a></sup><sup>,<a href="#ioi210045r13" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">13</a></sup> future research should be conducted in other settings. Fifth, the data extraction for this study was restricted based on the data minimization principle; therefore, we only have the relevant variables as presented in this study. Information on the indications for nonspontaneous cases was not available in the data set. Thus, we were unable to conduct the analysis on other birth defect outcomes. As suggested in a recent review,<sup><a href="#ioi210045r28" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">28</a></sup> further studies on birth defects or malformation should be conducted. Lastly, large samples with adequate statistical power are necessary for sibling-matched analyses.<sup><a href="#ioi210045r29" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">29</a></sup> Although we included all Hong Kong sibling samples, the sample size has insufficient power to detect small differences.
