Popis: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between prenatal selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) exposure and postnatal therapeutic hypothermia for suspected hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. STUDY DESIGN: Matched case-control study of singleton deliveries at a tertiary hospital from 2010–2016. Cases were infants treated with therapeutic hypothermia for suspected hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. Controls were non-case infants, matched on gestational age, maternal age, obstetric provider group, and hospital shift. RESULT: Prenatal SSRI exposure occurred in 18.4% of cases compared to 4.1% of controls (aOR: 5.9, 95% CI: 1.8 – 19.7). Among all cases, 36.8% had evidence of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy on postnatal MRI. In addition, 28.6% of SSRI-exposed cases and 38.7% of SSRI-unexposed cases had MRI confirmation of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, respectively. CONCLUSION: Future research to disentangle signs of SSRI-exposure from true hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy may facilitate targeting therapeutic hypothermia stewardship toward infants more likely to benefit.
