Maternal Prenatal Cannabis Use and Major Structural Birth Defects
Objective
We evaluated associations between prenatal cannabis use and major structural birth defects of the child.
Methods
This population-based retrospective cohort study comprised singleton births (January 2011–July 2020) universally screened for substance use at entrance to prenatal care. Prenatal cannabis use was defined as self-reported use or a positive toxicology test during pregnancy. Electronic health record and birth certificate data were used to identify 38 specific major structural birth defects within 8 organ systems (i.e., central nervous, eye, ear, cardiac, orofacial/respiratory, gastrointestinal, genitourinary/renal, and musculoskeletal). Modified Poisson regression models were conducted adjusting for propensity scores.
Results
Of 363,952 infants, 22,494(6.2%) were exposed to maternal prenatal cannabis use, and 6094 infants (2.17%) had a major structural birth defect. Maternal prenatal cannabis use was associated with gastroschisis in the unadjusted (RR = 2.00, 95% CI: 1.25–3.19) and other non-cannabis prenatal substance use (aRR = 1.68; 95% CI: 1.04–2.71) adjusted models, but not in the models adjusted for maternal age or the propensity score. Maternal prenatal cannabis use was associated with omphalocele in the unadjusted model (RR = 3.04; 95% CI: 1.42–6.48), maternal age-adjusted model (aRR = 3.54; 95% CI: 1.68–7.48), other prenatal substance use-adjusted model (aRR = 3.31; 95% CI: 1.50–7.31), and propensity score adjusted model (aRR: 2.92, 95% CI: 1.26–6.77). Cases of gastroschisis and omphalocele were rare: n = 172 (0.05%) and n = 48 (0.01%), respectively. No associations emerged between maternal prenatal cannabis use and any other birth defects. Findings were replicated when cannabis was defined by toxicology testing only.
Conclusions
Maternal prenatal cannabis use was associated with an increased risk for gastroschisis and omphalocele. Clinicians should provide counseling in a supportive manner to pregnant individuals about the potential harms associated with prenatal cannabis use.
期刊介绍:
The journal Birth Defects Research publishes original research and reviews in areas related to the etiology of adverse developmental and reproductive outcome. In particular the journal is devoted to the publication of original scientific research that contributes to the understanding of the biology of embryonic development and the prenatal causative factors and mechanisms leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes, namely structural and functional birth defects, pregnancy loss, postnatal functional defects in the human population, and to the identification of prenatal factors and biological mechanisms that reduce these risks.
Adverse reproductive and developmental outcomes may have genetic, environmental, nutritional or epigenetic causes. Accordingly, the journal Birth Defects Research takes an integrated, multidisciplinary approach in its organization and publication strategy. The journal Birth Defects Research contains separate sections for clinical and molecular teratology, developmental and reproductive toxicology, and reviews in developmental biology to acknowledge and accommodate the integrative nature of research in this field. Each section has a dedicated editor who is a leader in his/her field and who has full editorial authority in his/her area.
