USA 2007 - 2011 case control |
the Hyperemesis Education and Research Foundation Web site | Children exposed to hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) with neurodevelopmental delay. | Children exposed to hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) with a good outcome. | Participants were asked to submit their medical records and complete an online survey regarding treatment. | during pregnancy (anytime or not specified) | 138 / 174 | Main analysis: case control related to the impact of the HG illness (treated or not) on child outcomes. Then impact of 37 medications/treatments (1st and/or 2nd trimester) on child outcome was investigated (none was significantly associated with delay). | |
Participants were asked to submit their medical records and complete an online survey regarding outcomes. A follow-up survey was administered on the diagnosis of childhood emotional, behavioral, and learning disorders. | |||||||||
