Gestational exposure to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and offspring psychiatric disorders: A national register-based study
Open accessAbstract
Objective To investigate the impact of gestational exposure to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) on offspring neurodevelopment.Method This is a cohort study using national register data in Finland between the years 1996 and 2010. Pregnant women and their offspring were categorized into 4 groups: SSRI exposed (n = 15,729); exposed to psychiatric disorder, no antidepressants (n = 9,651); exposed to SSRIs only before pregnancy (n = 7,980); and unexposed to antidepressants and psychiatric disorders (n = 31,394). We investigated the cumulative incidence of offspring diagnoses of depression, anxiety, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) for the 4 groups from birth to 14 years, adjusting for confounders.Results The cumulative incidence of depression among offspring exposed prenatally to SSRIs was 8.2% (95% CI = 3.1-13.3%) by age 14.9 years, compared with 1.9% (95% CI = 0.9-2.9%) in the psychiatric disorder, no medication group (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 1.78; 95% CI = 1.12-2.82; p = .02) and to 2.8% (95% CI = 1.4-4.3%) in the SSRI discontinued group (HR = 1.84; 95% CI = 1.14-2.97; p = .01). Rates of anxiety, ASD, and ADHD diagnoses were comparable to rates in offspring of mothers with a psychiatric disorder but no medication during pregnancy. Comparing SSRI exposed to unexposed individuals, the HRs were significantly elevated for each outcome.Conclusion Prenatal SSRI exposure was associated with increased rates of depression diagnoses in early adolescence but not with ASD or ADHD. Until confirmed, these findings must be balanced against the substantial adverse consequences of untreated maternal depression.

The DD-prenatal SSRI pattern resembled the ASD pattern and matched earlier null findings for ADHD, DD, and ID.
“Relationships between DD and prenatal SSRIs were overall similar to those observed with ASD, and in agreement with previous null reports of prenatal SSRI use and ADHD (21, 25, 42), DD (32, 57), and ID (27, 58).”

The null result for prenatal SSRIs and ASD agrees with multiple large population studies designed to handle confounding by indication.
“Our findings of no association between prenatal SSRI exposure and ASD are consistent with the conclusions of several large, population-based studies that specifically address confounding by indication (19–26, 42).”

One observational study reported effect estimates for maternal antidepressant exposure during pregnancy vs. unexposed women with a past medical history of affective disorder for ADHD.
“One observational study reported effect estimates for maternal antidepressant exposure during pregnancy vs. unexposed women with a past medical history of affective disorder [31].”
The definition of exposure to other medicines during pregnancy focused on other psychotropic drugs, anxiolytics and sedatives, or nicotine products, with only one study accounting for all types of medications used.
“However, the definition of exposure to the use of other medicines during pregnancy focused on the use of other psychotropic drugs [35, 36, 38], use of anxiolytics and sedatives [19, 31, 37] or use of nicotine products [29], with only one study accounting for all types of medications used [25].”
For ADHD, three case-control studies involving 51,944 patients and 4,375 cases and four cohort studies involving 2,713,779 patients and 51,938 cases were included.
“For ADHD as the outcome, three case–control studies (involving 51,944 patients and 4,375 cases of ADHD) [17, 18, 36] and four cohort studies (involving 2,713,779 patients and 51,938 cases of ADHD) [31, 33, 37, 38] were included.”
Adjustment for use of other medicines during pregnancy occurred in five studies assessing ASD and four studies assessing ADHD.
“Adjustment for use of other medicines during pregnancy occurred in five studies assessing ASD as the outcome and four studies assessing ADHD as the outcome [19, 25, 31, 34–37].”
A total of seven observational studies measuring ADHD as an outcome were identified.

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.
