Abstrakt:	Objectives: Early antibiotic exposure influences the gut microbiota which is believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). We aimed to investigate the association between systemic antibiotics in prenatal and early life and risk of JIA. Methods: We conducted a register-based cohort study including all children born in Norway from 2004 through 2012. The children were followed until 31 December 2020. Main exposures were dispensed antibiotics to the mother during pregnancy and to the child during 0-24 months of age. The outcome was defined by diagnostic codes indicating JIA. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to estimate the association between antibiotic exposure and JIA. Results: We included 535 294 children and their mothers in the analyses; 1011 cases were identified. We found an association between exposure to systemic antibiotics during 0-24 months and JIA (adjusted OR (aOR) 1.40, 95% CI 1.24 to 1.59), with a stronger association for >1 course (aOR 1.50, 95% CI 1.29 to 1.74) vs 1 course (aOR 1.31, 95% CI 1.13 to 1.53). Subanalyses showed significant associations in all age periods except 0-6 months, and stronger association with sulfonamides/trimethoprim and broad-spectrum antibiotics. There was no association between prenatal antibiotic exposure and JIA. Conclusions: The novel observation of no association with prenatal antibiotic exposure and JIA suggests that the association between antibiotics in early life and JIA is unlikely to be confounded by shared family factors. This may indicate that exposure to antibiotics in early life is an independent risk factor for JIA.
