Paternal preconception exposure to non ‐steroid anti‐inflammatory drugs or opioids and adverse birth outcomes: A nationwide registry‐based cohort study

ConclusionsOverall, we found null-associations across the comparisons made. Weak associations were found for paternal exposure to non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs or opioids and preterm birth and small for gestational age, but not with low Apgar score or major congenital malformation. All associations were attenuated when compared against an active comparator of paternal paracetamol exposure. The effect sizes were small and less likely to be of clinical relevance.
