✦ Synopsis

Purpose- To evaluate the risk of having a baby with congenital anomalies in mothers who used misoprostol during pregnancy.Methods- Hospital-based case - control study from Hospital Chateaubriand, Fortaleza, Brasil. Cases were 37 babies weighing less than 1500 g with congenital anomalies of various types, and the comparison group included 387 infants also weighing less than 1500 g, and without congenital anomalies.Results- The multivariate odds ratio of having a baby with congenital anomalies was 2.4 (95% confidence interval 1.0 - 6.2) in mothers who reported having used misoprostol compared with those who did not.Conclusions- Misoprostol use during pregnancy might be related to a broad spectrum of congenital anomalies in infants.

The reasons for sex biases in congenital anomalies that arise before structural or hormonal dimorphisms are established has long been unclear. A review of such disorders shows that patterning and tissue anomalies are female biased, and structural findings are more common in males. This suggests diff
