Fejzo, 2015 USA
2007 - 2011
Children exposed to hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) with neurodevelopmental delay. Children exposed to hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) with a good outcome. 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).
Fejzo, 2013 USA
2007 - 2011
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. 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).
