Malformations Caused by Drugs in Pregnancy
Abstract
UP TO 1961, only a few cases of malformations in man have been attributed to drugs, notably aminopterin (Thiersch, 1952;1and 1960;2Meltzer, 1956;3and Warkany et al, 19594), busulfan (Diamond et al 19605), androgens and progestogens (Wilkins, 19606), cortisone (Bongiovanni and McPadden, 19607), quinine (Grebe, 1952,8Uhlig, 1957;9and Windorfer, 195310), insulin (Wickes, 195411), and tolbutamide (Larsson and Sterky, 196012). A causal relationship has been well established only for aminopterin and for the androgenic and gestagenic hormones. A few cases of cleft palate following high doses of cortisone administered in early pregnancy are suggestive of a causative effect in view of similar results in animal experiments. A connection between quinine intake for artificial abortion and malformations has been assumed in selected cases. However, no unbiased study is available. The malformations attributed to quinine have not shown any

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
