We sought to examine the fetal safety of colchicine.
This was a prospective observational comparative cohort study regarding colchicine exposure during pregnancy including contacts to 2 Teratology Information Services in Israel from 1994 through 2006.
In all, 238 colchicine-exposed pregnancies (97.0% first trimester) and 964 pregnancies with nonteratogenic exposure were followed up. Treatment indications were: familial Mediterranean fever (87.3%), Behçet disease (7.5%), or other (5.2%). The rate of major congenital anomalies was comparable between the groups (10/221 [4.5%] vs 35/908 [3.9%]; P = .648). There were no cytogenetic anomalies in the colchicine group. The median gestational age at delivery was earlier (39 [38-40] vs 40 [38-41] weeks; P < .001), the rate of preterm deliveries was higher (32/214 [15.0%] vs 51/867 [5.9%]; P < .001), and the median birthweight was lower (3000 [2688-3300] vs 3300 [2900-3600] g; P < .001) in the colchicine group.
The present study suggests that colchicine does not appear to be a major human teratogen, and, probably, has no cytogenetic effect.
我们旨在研究秋水仙碱的胎儿安全性。
这是一项前瞻性观察性比较队列研究,涉及 1994 年至 2006 年期间以色列 2 个致畸信息服务机构的秋水仙碱暴露妊娠,共随访 238 例秋水仙碱暴露妊娠(97.0%为孕早期)和 964 例非致畸暴露妊娠。治疗指征为:家族性地中海热(87.3%)、贝切特病(7.5%)或其他疾病(5.2%)。两组主要先天性畸形的发生率无差异(10/221 [4.5%] 与 35/908 [3.9%];P =.648)。秋水仙碱组无细胞遗传学异常。分娩时的中位孕龄较早(39 [38-40] 与 40 [38-41] 周;P <.001),早产率较高(32/214 [15.0%] 与 51/867 [5.9%];P <.001),出生体重较低(3000 [2688-3300] 与 3300 [2900-3600] g;P <.001)。
本研究表明,秋水仙碱似乎不是主要的人类致畸剂,可能没有细胞遗传学效应。
