BMJ GroupJul 18 2024 Neither covid-19 infection nor vaccination during the first trimester of pregnancy is associated with increased risk of major birth defects , finds a study from Scandinavia published by The BMJ today.
To explore this, researchers used national health registries to identify 343,066 liveborn single infants in Sweden, Denmark and Norway with an estimated start of pregnancy between 1 March 2020 and 14 February 2022 and a minimum of nine months of postnatal follow-up time. Potentially influential factors such as mother's age, education, country of birth, weight , existing chronic conditions, and smoking during pregnancy, were also accounted for in the analyses.
Overall, no notable increased risk among offspring of women vaccinated against covid-19 during the first trimester was found for ten of the eleven groups of anomalies evaluated.
