Several studies indicate that paternal use of medication may adversely affect the developing fetus.

The exposed cohort comprised all children fathered by men using SSRIs 3 months prior to conception and the unexposed cohort comprised all other children. We estimated the odds ratios for adverse birth outcomes: small for gestational age (SGA), preterm birth, low Apgar score, and major congenital malformations. Furthermore, we estimated the hazard ratios for adverse early life events of infections and hospitalizations within 1 year from birth. We also examined adverse birth outcomes and the adverse early life events according to SSRI subgroups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There was a statistically significantly increased odds ratio 1.15 (confidence interval, CI: 1.06\u20131.23) for preterm birth. No significant results were found for SGA, low Apgar score, and major congenital malformations. The adjusted hazard ratios for hospitalizations and infections were 1.06 (CI: 1.02\u20131.11) and 1.02 (CI: 0.97\u20131.07), respectively.
