Abstract

Objective: To study associations between hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) and birth outcomes. Design: Population‐based cohort study. Setting: Norway. Sample: Singleton births in the Norwegian Birth Registry, 1967–2009 (n = 2 270 363). Methods: Multiple logistic regression was applied to study associations between HG and dichotomous outcomes; multiple linear regression to study associations between HG, birthweight and gestational length. Generalised estimating equations were applied to obtain valid standard errors. Sub‐analysis on data with available information on smoking was conducted (1999–2009). Main outcome measures: Small and large for gestational age (SGA/LGA), Apgar score after 5 minutes, very preterm and preterm birth (VPTB/PTB), perinatal death, stillbirth, neonatal death, birthweight and gestational length. Results: No associations between HG and adverse pregnancy outcomes were observed in crude analyses, except for VPTB (odds ratio [OR] 0.79, 95% CI 0.67–0.93). In adjusted analysis, HG was associated with perinatal death (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.08–1.48). Inverse associations were observed between HG and VPTB (OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.68–0.94) and LGA (OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.90–0.99). Sub‐analyses showed no associations between HG and perinatal death (OR 1.29, 95% CI 0.91–1.83). The inverse associations between HG, VPTB and LGA were strengthened (OR 0.66, 95% CI, 0.48–0.91 and OR 0.86, 95% CI 0.79–0.93, respectively). Exposed babies had reduced birthweight and gestational length compared with unexposed, adjusted difference − 21.4 g and − 0.5 days, respectively. Adjustment for smoking slightly strengthened the impact of HG on birthweight. Conclusions: Inverse associations for HG and VPTB and LGA were observed. HG was associated with slight reductions in birthweight and gestational age.

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.
