| Study | Type of data | Exposure measurement | Outcome assessment | Adjustment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Broe (Controls unexposed, general pop), 2025 | population based cohort retrospective | Exposure was determined using the Prescription register that contains individual-level prescription data from all Danish outpatient pharmacies. | Malformations were identified using infant records from three Danish health registries: The Birth register, the Patient register, and the Cause of Death Register during the first year of life. | Singleton only. Multivariable model including calendar year, maternal age at delivery, body mass index (BMI), smoking status, parity, and concurrent exposure to known teratogenic drugs during the first trimester. |

| Maya, 2025 | retrospective cohort | Maternal medications were obtained in the electronic health record (EHR) from the Mass General Brigham Enterprise Data Warehouse and the Mass General Brigham Research. The exposed and unexposed classifications were validated through manual medical record review of a subset of exposed participants. | Maternal anthropometric and delivery data were obtained from the Mass General Brigham Enterprise Data Warehouse; additional maternal diagnostics were obtained from the Mass General Brigham Research. Prepregnancy weight was self-reported and documented in the electronic health record (EHR). | Singleton only. Propensity score (and/or adjusted): body mass index, maternal age, parity, race and ethnicity, insurance type, preexisting diabetes (except for gestational diabetes analysis because this group was excluded), preexisting chronic hypertension (except for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy analysis because this group was excluded), year of delivery, and delivery location. |
| Westergaard, 2025 | population based cohort retrospective | Lliraglutide or semaglutide prescription (no other details). | Not specified. | Propensity scoring was done using fast generalized full matching, including age, BMI, smoking, parish, education, pre-existing diabetes, parity, year, and month as possible confounders. |
