Abstract
This pharmacovigilance study investigated the relationship between antiepileptic drugs and congenital strabismus, utilizing the FDA Adverse Event Report System database between 2014 and 2023. Out of 28 347 889 reports of adverse events in 10 937 764 cases, we identified 1104 reports of strabismus and 67 of congenital strabismus. Valproic acid was the most frequently implicated primary suspect drug (95 and 14 cases, respectively). Ninety-five reports involved transplacental valproic acid exposure, yielding an information component (IC) of 7.06 (IC-2 × standard deviation: 5.50). A multivariate analysis showed that transplacental exposure to valproic acid correlated with strabismus (adjusted odds ratio: 8.47, 95% CI: 6.74–10.65). We revealed a robust safety signal linking valproic acid to congenital strabismus.
