Popis: BACKGROUND: Although nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) is common, the secular and demographic trends of NVP and its treatments are not well-studied. OBJECTIVES: To describe the prevalence and patterns of first-trimester NVP and selected treatments among controls in the National Birth Defects Prevention Study (NBDPS). METHODS: National Birth Defects Prevention Study is a population-based case–control study of birth defects in the United States (1997-2011). We collected self-reported data about NVP and use of commonly reported pharmacological and herbal/natural treatments (ondansetron, promethazine, pyridoxine, metoclopramide, doxylamine succinate, ginger, phosphorated carbohydrate solution, and prochlorperazine) from mothers of non-malformed control infants. We estimated the prevalence of NVP and selected treatments and examined secular and demographic trends (education, race/ethnicity, and maternal age) for such use, adjusting for study centre. RESULTS: Among 10 540 mothers of controls, 7393 women (70.1%) reported first-trimester NVP, and 12.2% of those used one or more of the commonly reported treatments. Specific treatment use varied after adjustment for study centre (ondansetron: 3.4%; promethazine: 4.2%; pyridoxine: 3.2%; metoclopramide: 0.7%; doxylamine succinate: 1.7%; ginger: 1.0%; phosphorated carbohydrate solution: 0.4%; and prochlorperazine: 0.3%). Treatment use increased for each agent over the study period. Women with more years of education reported more NVP and treatment use. White (72%), Hispanic (71%), and other race (73%) women reported more NVP than Black women (67%); White women used selected NVP treatments most frequently, and Black women used them more than Hispanic women. Though women aged 25-34 years reported more NVP (72%) than younger (69%) or older (67%) women, the frequency of medication use was similar among women aged 25-34 and ≥35, and lower among women aged
