Neurology
February 2025
Department of Medicine (Austin Health), The University of Melbourne, Australia.
Background And Objectives: Aside from congenital malformations and impaired postnatal neurodevelopment, risks associated with antiseizure medication (ASM) use during pregnancy have been sparsely investigated, particularly outside of epilepsy. We aimed to assess these risks through a systematic literature review and meta-analysis, including ASM exposure for indication.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane for studies including pregnant women on ASMs for any indication and untreated pregnant women, investigating obstetric complications and fetal/neonatal complications other than congenital malformations and impaired neurodevelopment.
