Freeman, 2021 prospective cohort Participants are prospectively interviewed across pregnancy and the early postpartum period by telephone, at enrollment, at 7 months’ gestation, and 12 weeks after delivery. Data collected from interviews and medical records (from pediatrics and relevant specialists). If a major malformation is suspected, the records are redacted and sent to a dysmorphologist for final blind adjudication. Medical records were obtained and reviewed for 81.3% of the participants. Univaried. Maternal body mass index (BMI), having a college education, use of prenatal vitamins, marital status, first trimester use of cigarettes, use of anticonvulsants, and diagnosis of depression met the confounder criteria.
Habermann (Control exposed to FGA), 2013 prospective cohort Data ascertainment was performed using 2 structured questionnaires at (1) the first contact and (2) 8 weeks after the estimated date of birth. A detailed history of drug use is recorded at the first contact. Follow up is especially focused on congenital anomalies and postnatal disorders.

Huybrechts (Controls unexposed, NOS), 2023 population based cohort retrospective Exposure to atypical and typical antipsychotics was defined based on filling 1 or more prescriptions of the respective drug class during the first trimester, the period for organogenesis. => Prescription databases. Nordic Countries: outcomes are defined based on data from the Medical Birth, Malformation and/or Patient Registers from the date of birth to one year after birth. USA: claims in infant record between birth and birth more 90 days and/or in the maternal record, using both in- and out-patient data.
