Continuation of GLP-1 receptor agonists in the first trimester does not show a clear increase in nonlive birth or major congenital malformations.
The study analyzed 3,572 pregnancies, comparing outcomes between those who continued GLP-1 treatment and those who did not.
The adjusted risk ratio for nonlive birth was 1.09, indicating no significant difference in risk between treatment groups.
Elective termination rates were higher among patients who continued GLP-1 treatment, potentially due to various influencing factors.
The study's observational design has limitations, including potential residual confounding and imprecise estimates for some outcomes.
