A part of a larger investigation evaluating the genetics and epidemiology of Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). Pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) who have negative outcomes (birth weight less than 10%, perinatal mortality, and/or preterm birth (<37 weeks)). Pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) who have positive outcomes. Participants were asked to submit their medical records and complete an online survey regarding treatment. The majority of participants, both cases and controls, joined the study and began the survey during their pregnancies. during pregnancy (anytime or not specified) 43 / 211 Comparison of use of various medications/treatments in the two groups (43 HG participants with an adverse outcome compared to 211 HG participants with a good outcome).
Participants were asked to submit their medical records and complete an online surveyregarding outcomes. The majority of participants, both cases and controls, were automatically prompted to complete the survey on outcome following their due date.
