JAMA - Antidepressant Use and Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn

"Antidepressant Use Late in Pregnancy and Risk of Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn"

"Conclusions and Relevance  Evidence from this large study of publicly insured pregnant women may be consistent with a potential increased risk of PPHN associated with maternal use of SSRIs in late pregnancy. However, the absolute risk was small, and the risk increase appears more modest than suggested in previous studies."
