Clinical Trial Summary

Over the last 20 years, concerns have been raised about rare but serious adverse outcomes associated with macrolide use during pregnancy. The strongest evidence comes from a large randomised controlled trial (RCT, ORACLE Child Study II) of women with spontaneous preterm labour (SPL), which reported an increased risk of cerebral palsy in children whose mothers received erythromycin compared with no erythromycin. A recent systematic review on macrolides prescription during pregnancy showed consistent associations with miscarriage, and less consistent associations with adverse child outcomes such as congenital malformations, cerebral palsy and epilepsy. In this study, the investigators will evaluate associations between macrolide antibiotics prescription during pregnancy and a range of adverse child outcomes.

The investigators compare children whose mothers were prescribed an only monotherapy of macrolides or penicillins during pregnancy (from 5 gestational week (GW) to delivery and by trimesters). The investigators estimate the risk ratios of major malformation (overall and five system-specific) and hazard ratios of four neurodevelopmental disorders (cerebral palsy, epilepsy, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and autism spectrum disorder) with control for potential confounders. The associations will also be examined by subtype of macrolides and treatment duration.

Mother-child pairs will be analysed in a cohort selected from the UK Clinical Practice Research Database (CPRD) between 1990 and 2016.
