Objective
We sought to further quantify the risk of anomalies after opioid analgesic exposure during the first trimester in a population-based cohort study.
Findings/Key points
Although the absolute risk of congenital anomalies was low, our findings add to accumulating data that suggest a small increased risk of some organ system anomalies and specific anomalies with first trimester exposure to opioid analgesics.
