Background: Maternal hormonal contraception use has been associated with childhood leukemia risk. However, studies are few and often based on self-reported information.
Methods: Using registry data from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, we identified 3,183,316 children (born 1996-2018) and followed them from birth until leukemia diagnosis, censoring (death, emigration, other cancer, 20th birthday) or study closure (December 31st, 2017, 2018 or 2020).
Objective: In the general population, there has been a noticeable rise in the dispensing of gabapentinoids in recent years. The aim of this study was to provide an overview of all available data on the use and safety of gabapentinoids during pregnancy.
Methods: A systematic review was performed in PubMed and Reprotox using the search terms: "gabapentin", "pregabalin", "antiepileptic drugs" and terms associated with pregnancy.
Background: Considering data from the literature in favor of active educational intervention to teach pharmacovigilance, we describe an innovative model of distance learning clinical reasoning sessions (CRS) of pharmacovigilance with 3rd year medical French students.
Methods: The three main objectives were to identify the elements necessary for the diagnosis of an adverse drug reaction, report an adverse drug reaction and perform drug causality assessment. The training was organized in 3 stages.
Among antidepressants, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are particularly expected to increase the risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) with regard to their biological mechanism. We aimed to evaluate the association between prenatal exposure to SNRI and HDP. In EFEMERIS, a French database including pregnant women covered by the French Health Insurance System of Haute-Garonne (2004-2019), we compared the incidence of HDP among women exposed to SNRI monotherapy during the first trimester of pregnancy to the incidence among 2 control groups: (1) women exposed to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) monotherapy during the first trimester and (2) women not exposed to antidepressants during pregnancy.
