Popis: OBJECTIVES To assess how nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP) and hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) are managed and treated across primary and secondary care. DESIGN Population-based pregnancy cohort. SETTING Medical records (CPRD-GOLD) from England. POPULATION 417 028 pregnancies during 1998-2014. METHODS Proportions of pregnancies with recorded NVP/HG diagnoses, primary care treatment, and hospital admissions were calculated. Multinomial logistic regression was employed to estimate adjusted relative risk ratios (aRRRs) with 99% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between NVP/HG management paths and maternal characteristics. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES NVP/HG diagnoses, treatments, and hospital admissions. RESULTS Overall prevalence of clinically recorded NVP/HG was 9.1%: 2.1% had hospital admissions, 3.4% were treated with antiemetics in primary care only, and 3.6% had only recorded diagnoses. Hospital admissions and antiemetic prescribing increased continuously during 1998-2013 (trend P
