We quantified the perception of teratogenic risk in women attending the Motherisk program for counseling about diagnostic radiation in pregnancy (n = 50) and compared it with a control group of women exposed to nonteratogenic drugs and chemicals (n = 48). Before receiving known information about the specific exposure, women exposed to radiation assigned themselves a significantly higher teratogenic risk compared with the control group (25.5 +/- 4.3% versus 15.7 +/- 3.0% for major malformations, P less than 0.01). The post-consultation perception of teratogenic risk did not differ between the two groups. Special consideration and attention should be given when counseling pregnant women exposed to low-dose ionizing radiation, as their misperception of teratogenic risk may lead them to unnecessary termination of their pregnancy.
我们对参加Motherisk项目咨询孕期诊断性辐射相关事宜的女性（n = 50）的致畸风险认知进行了量化，并将其与接触非致畸性药物和化学物质的女性对照组（n = 48）进行了比较。在获得关于特定暴露的已知信息之前，与对照组相比，接触辐射的女性给自己分配的致畸风险显著更高（主要畸形的风险分别为25.5±4.3%和15.7±3.0%，P<0.01）。两组在咨询后对致畸风险的认知没有差异。在为接触低剂量电离辐射的孕妇提供咨询时，应给予特别的考虑和关注，因为她们对致畸风险的错误认知可能导致她们不必要地终止妊娠。
