    Pregnancy protection and pregnancies in women prescribed ACE inhibitors or ARBs: a cross-sectional study in primary care

    No full text
    BACKGROUND: The teratogenic risks of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are well documented, but prescribing these in younger women in primary care is becoming increasingly frequent.AIM: To record how frequently women of childbearing age, who are prescribed an ACE inhibitor or ARB, receive preconception advice and/or are prescribed contraception, and how many pregnancies, terminations, and miscarriages occur in this population. Additionally, to ascertain whether patterns in the above differ across age groups.DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study conducted among patients from 141 general practices in East London.METHOD: Women aged 15-45 years who were issued a prescription for an ACE inhibitor or ARB between 1 October 2018 and 1 January 2019 inclusive were included. An electronic search strategy was designed to extract pseudonymised data concerning preconception and contraception advice, contraception, and pregnancies from the electronic clinical system; this was applied to the selected cohort on 1 January 2019. Data were analysed in 5-year age groups.RESULTS: Of 302 939 women aged 15-45 years, 2651 (0.9%) were prescribed an ACE inhibitor or an ARB in a 3-month period. Of these, 2159 (81.4%) had no advice and no contraception prescription recorded, 35 (1.3%) had preconception advice recorded, and 230 (8.7%) had contraception advice recorded. A total of 100 pregnancies and 21 terminations/miscarriages were recorded in the 12 months preceding the index date (1 January 2019).CONCLUSION: This study found that the recording of pre-pregnancy advice and contraception in women of childbearing age who were prescribed an ACE inhibitor or an ARB was suboptimal; this may place women and their babies at risk of exposure to teratogens during pregnancy. The findings indicate that there is a need for improved safety strategies based in primary care.</p

    ‘Across the waters of this disputed ocean’: the material production of American literature in nineteenth-century Britain

    No full text
    Katie McGettigan in ‘“Across the waters of this disputed ocean”: The Material Production of American Literature in Nineteenth-Century Britain’ argues that attending to the fashioning of American texts by British publishers enables us to rethink the emergence of American Literature as a material as well as an imaginative phenomenon, and one which was fashioned outside of, as much as within, America itself. This, in turn, produces new insights into the development of American national literary identity and transatlantic print culture, revealing a neglected history of transatlantic material exchange in the production of nineteenth-century American literature.</p

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
