Résumé
BackgroundThe safety of gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) exposure during pregnancy has not been established, and the use of GBCAs during pregnancy is not recommended unless it is essential to the health of the woman or fetus.PurposeTo examine the prevalence of GBCA exposure in a large sample of pregnancies resulting in a live birth.Materials and MethodsThe Sentinel Distributed Database was used to retrospectively identify U.S. pregnancies that resulted in live births between 2006 and 2017 from 16 data partners. The main outcome was the prevalence of MRI procedures with and without GBCAs, sorted by anatomic location and trimester, among pregnant and matched comparator women.ResultsAmong 4 692 744 pregnancies resulting in a live birth, we identified 6879 exposures to GBCAs in 5457 pregnancies, representing one contrast-enhanced MRI examination per 860 pregnancies (0.12% of all pregnancies). Most contrast-enhanced MRI examinations were performed in the head (
