EU PAS Register NumberEUPAS5362
Official titlePregnancy outcome in women exposed to dopamine agonists during pregnancy: a study in EFEMERIS database
Study title acronym
Study typeObservational study
Brief description of the studyData from EFEMERIS, a cohort of 57,408 pregnant women living in South West France were used to compare women exposed to dopamine agonists during pregnancy and unexposed women. The exposed group included women who received at least one prescription for one dopamine agonist during pregnancy. These women were individually matched with two unexposed women from the cohort for age and the month-and-year of the start of pregnancy. Pregnancy losses, birth defects, preterm births, low birth weight and psychomotor development were studied.

15. Data analysis plan
Please provide a brief summary of the analysis method
Maternal characteristics and adverse fetal outcomes in the two groups (“exposed” and “unexposed”) were described and compared by simple conditional logistic regression. Then, we used conditional logistic regression to analyze risks for each outcome associated with dispensation of dopamine agonists. To identify confounders, we used simple conditional logistic regression to evaluate the association between each potential confounder (dispensation of folic acid and progesterone during organogenesis, multiple births, preterm birth, gender, mother’s occupation, number of ultrasound scans during pregnancy, pathologies during pregnancy) and each outcome. For psychomotor development, the small sample sizes led us to use exact conditional logistic regression. For analysis of the risk of pregnancy loss, survival analysis was also used, as a sensitivity analysis, to take the time–dependant characteristics of exposure into account. Cox proportional hazard regression was applied.
