We assessed whether exposure during the first or third trimester is associated with major congenital malformations or late-pregnancy adverse outcomes in a population-based cohort that also included stillbirths and terminations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Using data from Clalit Health Services Southern district, we identified 265,686 pregnancies in women aged 15\u201345 years (from 1998 to 2017). Pharmacy records classified doxycycline dispensation in the first trimester (\u2264\u200913 weeks) or third trimester (\u2265\u200927 weeks). Crude and adjusted negative-binomial models estimated relative risks (RRs) for total and organ-specific major congenital malformations diagnosed up to age 1 year and for perinatal mortality, preterm birth, low\/very-low birthweight, and low Apgar scores. Sensitivity analyses explored dose-response relations and propensity-score-matched cohorts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among 2,696 first-trimester exposures, major malformations occurred in 7.7% versus 7.0% of 262,990 unexposed pregnancies (SMD\u2009=\u20090.03,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.17).
