Imperfect recall of exposure timing challenges the ascertainment of medications in interview-based studies. We propose an algorithm to classify medication exposure taking into account recall certainty. The availability of medication use details, including duration of use, start and stop dates, and maternal estimates of how certain they were about these dates, allowed classification of subjects as either likely or possibly exposed in the first trimester of pregnancy. We applied the algorithm to study an association between prenatal tetracycline exposure and risk of congenital heart defects previously-reported by the National Birth Defects Prevention Study, using 1993–2008 data from 11 517 subjects in the Slone Epidemiology Center Birth Defects Study. Among women exposed to tetracyclines during pregnancy (n = 58), 50% were likely and 19% possibly exposed in the first trimester; and 31% exposed outside the first trimester. Compared to nonuse during pregnancy, the crude odds ratio (OR) for exposure outside the first trimester was 1.0 (95% confidence interval 0.4–2.5); for exposed (likely or possibly, combined) in the first trimester it was 1.7 (0.9–3.2); however, the ORs based on the algorithms were 0.9 (0.3–3.0) for possibly exposed and 2.2 (1.0–4.6) for likely exposed. A ‘certainty-response’ (stronger association with higher level of certainty) was found within exposures in the window of etiological interest. Algorithms for exposure classification that incorporate recall certainty may be useful in interview-based studies.
