Trial Condition(s):

Relationship between the exposure of glucocorticoids during pregnancy and orofacial cleft development

A study to learn more about the relationship between the development of a gap in the upper lip (cleft lip) or in the roof of the mouth (cleft palate) in newborns and the use of glucocorticoids by the mother during pregnancy: a meta-analysis

Trial Purpose

Glucocorticoids are drugs that have many effects on body metabolism, raise sugar level in the blood, and reduce inflammation. By applying a statistical technique for combining the findings from a systematic literature review (meta analysis), researchers want to learn more about the relationship of the risk to develop a separation in the roof of the mouth (cleft palate) in newborns and contact with glucocorticoids during pregnancy.
