<p>OBJECTIVE: To compare the risk of severe adverse pregnancy complications in women with pre-existing diabetes.</p> <p>RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Multinational, prospective cohort study to assess the prevalence of newborns free from major congenital malformations, perinatal or neonatal death (primary endpoint) following treatment with insulin detemir (detemir) vs other basal insulins.</p> <p>RESULTS: Of 1,457 women included, 727 received detemir and 730 received other basal insulins. The prevalence of newborns free from major congenital malformations, perinatal or neonatal death was similar between detemir (97.0%) and other basal insulins (95.5%) (crude risk difference 0.015 [95% CI −0.01,0.04]; adjusted risk difference −0.003 [95% CI −0.03,0.03]). The crude prevalence of ≥1 congenital malformation (major + minor) was 9.4% vs 12.6%, with a similar risk difference before (−0.032 [95% CI −0.064,0.000]) and after (−0.036 [95% CI –0.081,0.009]) adjustment for confounders. Crude data showed lower maternal HbA<sub>1c</sub> during the first trimester (6.5% vs 6.7% [48 vs 50 mmol/mol]; estimated mean difference −0.181 [95% CI −0.300,−0.062]) and the second trimester (6.1% vs 6.3% [43 vs 45 mmol/mol]; −0.139 [95% CI −0.232,−0.046]), and a lower prevalence of major hypoglycemia (6.0% vs 9.0%; risk difference −0.030 [95% CI −0.058,−0.002]), pre-eclampsia (6.4% vs 10.0%; −0.036 [95% CI −0.064,−0.007]), and stillbirth (0.4% vs 1.8%; −0.013 [95% CI −0.024,−0.002],) with detemir compared to other basal insulins. However, differences were not significant post-adjustment.</p> <p>CONCLUSION: Insulin detemir was associated with a similar risk to other basal insulins of major congenital malformations, perinatal or neonatal death, hypoglycemia, pre-eclampsia and stillbirth. </p>

ObjectiveTo quantify the association between first-trimester antidepressant exposure and the risk of major congenital malformations (MCM) in a cohort of depressed women.MethodData were obtained from the Quebec pregnancy cohort. All pregnancies with a diagnosis of depression or anxiety, or exposed to antidepressants in the 12 months before pregnancy, and ending with a live-born singleton were included. Antidepressant classes (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI), tricyclic antidepressants (TCA), and other antidepressants), and types were individually compared to non-exposure during the first-trimester (depressed untreated). MCM overall and organ-specific malformations in the first year of life were identified.ResultEighteen thousand four hundred and eighty-seven depressed pregnant women were included. Citalopram use during the first-trimester was increasing the risk of MCM (aOR 1.36, 95%CI 1.08, 1.73; 88 exposed cases). Antidepressants with serotonin reuptake inhibition effect (SSRI, SNRI, amitriptyline (the most used TCA)) were increasing the risk of certain organ specific defects: paroxetine was increasing the risk of cardiac defects (aOR 1.45, 95%CI 1.12, 1.88), and ventricular/atrial septal defects (aOR 1.39, 95%CI 1.00. 1.93); citalopram was increasing the risk of musculoskeletal defects (aOR 1.92, 95%CI 1.40. 2.62), and cranyosynostosis (aOR 3.95, 95%CI 2.08, 7.52); TCA was associated with eye, ear, face and neck defects (aOR 2.45, 95%CI 1.05, 5.72), and digestive defects (aOR 2.55, 95%CI 1.40. 4.66); and venlafaxine was associated with respiratory defects (aOR 2.17, 95%CI 1.07, 4.38).ConclusionAntidepressants with effects on serotonin reuptake during embryogenesis are increasing the risk of some organ specific malformations in a cohort of pregnant women with depression.Disclosure of interestCOI: Disclosures and acknowledgments: AB is a consultant for plaintiffs in litigations involving antidepressants and birth defects.

This article presents some streamlined and intentionally oversimplified ideas about educating future communication disorders professionals to use some of the most basic principles of evidence-based practice. Working from a popular five-step approach, modifications are suggested that may make the ideas more accessible, and therefore more useful, for university faculty, other supervisors, and future professionals in speech-language pathology, audiology, and related fields.
