Maternal and early postnatal antibiotic exposure may increase the risk of autism spectrum disorder with regression
Purpose
To analyze if exposure to antibiotics during maternal pregnancy and early postnatal period increases the risk of autism spectrum disorder with regression (ASD-R).
Methods
A total of 483 children with ASD were categorized into ASD-R and ASD without regression (ASD-NR) groups. The caregivers of children completed questionnaires regarding use of antibiotics during maternal pregnancy and early postnatal period.
Results
There were significantly higher proportions of antibiotic exposure during maternal pregnancy and before age of 2 in the ASD-R group (10.3 % and 44.0 %) compared to the ASD-NR group (2.9 % and 33.1 %). Children with ASD and maternal antibiotic exposure had a higher likelihood of experiencing regression compared to those without exposure (unadjusted OR = 3.81, 95 %CI: 1.67–8.68; adjusted OR = 3.36, 95 %CI: 1.44–7.8). Also, children with ASD who were exposed to antibiotics during early postnatal period had a higher risk of regression, as opposed to those who were not exposed (unadjusted OR = 1.59, 95 % CI 1.08–2.32; adjusted OR = 1.50, 95 % CI 1.01–2.21). Both maternal and early postnatal antibiotic exposure were associated with certain dimensions and total scores of the ABC.
Conclusions
The ASD-R group had higher rates of antibiotic exposure during both maternal pregnancy and the early postnatal period compared to the ASD-NR group. Maternal and early postnatal antibiotic exposure may be risk factors for regression in children with ASD. Children with ASD who were exposed to antibiotics during maternal pregnancy or the early postnatal period may have more severe core symptoms than those without such history of exposure.
期刊介绍:
Neurotoxicology and Teratology provides a forum for publishing new information regarding the effects of chemical and physical agents on the developing, adult or aging nervous system. In this context, the fields of neurotoxicology and teratology include studies of agent-induced alterations of nervous system function, with a focus on behavioral outcomes and their underlying physiological and neurochemical mechanisms. The Journal publishes original, peer-reviewed Research Reports of experimental, clinical, and epidemiological studies that address the neurotoxicity and/or functional teratology of pesticides, solvents, heavy metals, nanomaterials, organometals, industrial compounds, mixtures, drugs of abuse, pharmaceuticals, animal and plant toxins, atmospheric reaction products, and physical agents such as radiation and noise. These reports include traditional mammalian neurotoxicology experiments, human studies, studies using non-mammalian animal models, and mechanistic studies in vivo or in vitro. Special Issues, Reviews, Commentaries, Meeting Reports, and Symposium Papers provide timely updates on areas that have reached a critical point of synthesis, on aspects of a scientific field undergoing rapid change, or on areas that present special methodological or interpretive problems. Theoretical Articles address concepts and potential mechanisms underlying actions of agents of interest in the nervous system. The Journal also publishes Brief Communications that concisely describe a new method, technique, apparatus, or experimental result.
