Objective. To evaluate the risk of oral cleft and major congenital malformation occurrence in infants born to women exposed to topiramate in their first trimester of pregnancy compared with women who used other anti-epileptic drugs or those with disease states in which topiramate may have been used. Methods. Sourced from patients' pharmacy and medical claims from 2002 through 2010, this study identified infants born from mothers exposed to topiramate (n = 870) and other anti-epileptic drugs (n = 3615) in the first trimester of pregnancy. First trimester exposure was based on prescription dispensing dates and days supplied relative to infant birth date, accounting for premature delivery. Infants born to women with migraine without epilepsy (n = 26,865), women with epilepsy (n = 2607), and women with diabetes mellitus (n = 13,062), as well as randomly sampled women (n = 99,761), were used for comparison. Topiramate use was excluded from all groups with the exception of the topiramate and random sample cohorts. Non-anti-epileptic drug teratogens were excluded from each cohort (except random sample). Unadjusted relative risks and 95% confidence intervals for topiramate vs each comparator were calculated. Risks >1 indicate a higher risk with topiramate vs comparator, whereas risks
