By
Andrew S. C. Yuen,
An everything bagel for the brain. Substantive, layered, well-seasoned.
Summary
This Perspective article by Yuen and Man discusses the challenges of interpreting research on NSAID safety during early pregnancy, particularly regarding congenital malformation risk. It highlights a recent PLOS Medicine study that presents new evidence on first-trimester NSAID use, but emphasizes that findings across studies are difficult to compare due to methodological differences, confounding factors, and varying study designs. The authors navigate the complexities of balancing pain management needs in pregnant individuals against potential risks, calling for careful interpretation of observational data.
