Study description

Pharmacotherapy during pregnancy and breastfeeding implies the possible risk of congenital disorders and other diseases in the offspring, so it is necessary to assess the benefit-risk balance of all drug treatments before prescribing them in pregnant or breastfeeding women. The drug use in pregnancy and breastfeeding has been assessed through different studies and, lately, through database studies, which offer advantages such as linked information mother-offspring, long-term follow-up periods for mothers and infants, information on maternal and birth outcomes, and information on confounding factors. The use of drugs during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been assessed through electronic health records in our setting and we plan to assess it through a population based study conducted with SIDIAP data in all women with pregnancy and breastfeeding registered in this database throughout 2011-2020. We plan to analyse drug use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, focalising in cardiovascular, neurologic and psychiatric disorders, to analyse vaccines use during these periods, and to detect possible congenital disorders and other diseases during childhood which may be caused by drug exposures of the mothers during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
