Effect of maternal asthma and asthma control on pregnancy and perinatal outcomes
2007, Journal of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :Black women were 1.6 (95% CI, 1.5-1.7) times more likely than white women to receive care for exacerbated asthma during pregnancy. Our findings add another report to the literature that confirms maternal asthma was not associated with birth defects,3,7,26,27,32 which should be reassuring to expectant mothers. However, birth defects are rare events, and even this large study has insufficient power to detect moderate effects between specific treatments and defects.

2000, American Journal of MedicineCitation Excerpt :The most recent British (48) and American (49) guidelines on the general management of asthma offer no specific advice about its treatment during pregnancy. Little is known about the effects of treatment on congenital malformations (50). However, the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology’s Registry for Allergic, Asthmatic Pregnant Patients will collect data on 800 women who require inhaled corticosteroids during pregnancy (51).
Perinatal epidemiology: Studying the effects of illness and medications during pregnancy
2000, Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :It can highlight the paucity of high-quality information on an important topic and serve as a stimulus to further research. An example of the latter use of meta-analysis is provided by Jadad et al.5 The authors did a meta-analysis of medications used to treat asthma and the risk of congenital malformations. After an extensive search of Medline and other computer-stored databases of publications, review of major articles, and examination of the references lists of pertinent publications, only three studies met the criteria as high-quality studies.
