Researchers identified 4,724 infants (3.2 percent) who were exposed to antidepressants in utero, with 4,200 exposed during the first trimester; 2,532 during the second and/or third trimester.
Of the first group, 40 were diagnosed with autism and in the latter group 31 were diagnosed with autism.
When taking into account maternal depression as a factor, that translates to no association for use of antidepressants in the first trimester but an 87 percent increased risk when used in the second or third trimester, Anick Bérard, a researcher at the University of Montreal, and co-authors wrote.
Scientists believe SSRIs balance the level of serotonin, which boosts mood for the mother. But the drugs also cross the placental barrier and the effect of such drugs on the brain development of a fetus at its earliest and more vulnerable state is still being studied.
The JAMA Pedatrics research adds to the growing number of studies about antidepressant and developmental delays, autism or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Last April, Johns Hopkins University researchers reported in the journal Pediatrics that boys with autism were almost three times as likely to have been exposed to SSRIs than their typically developing counterparts. The team, which looked at nearly 1,000 mother-child pairs, found that the effect appeared to be stronger in those exposed during the first trimester and in boys than girls. A similar link was seen between a mother's SSRI use and developmental delays, but the sample was smaller and the researchers said those results should be interpreted with caution.
In another study, Harvard scientists analyzing electronic medical records reported that children who were exposed to antidepressants in the womb were at 80 percent increased risk of ADHD.
