Prenatal Acetaminophen Exposure Linked to an Increased Risk of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
A research study published by Johns Hopkins University found that prenatal exposure to Tylenol or generic acetaminophen may potential lead to neurological disorders and developmental disorders in children.
Previous studies have suggested a possible link between acetaminophen exposure and ASD, but the study from Johns Hopkins University is the first to specifically examine the association between prenatal acetaminophen exposure and ASD.
The researchers used data from the Boston Birth Cohort to examine the link between prenatal acetaminophen exposure and ASD.
They collected umbilical cord blood from 996 births and measured the amount of acetaminophen and two of its byproducts in each sample.
“They found that children whose cord blood samples contained the highest levels of acetaminophen—the generic name for the drug Tylenol—were roughly three times more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD or autism spectrum disorder later in childhood, compared to children with the lowest levels of acetaminophen in their cord blood.”
By the time the children were an average of 8.9 years, 25.8% had been diagnosed with ADHD only, 6.6% with ASD only and 4.2% with ADHD and ASD.
The researchers classified the amount of acetaminophen and its byproducts in the samples into thirds, from lowest to highest.
Compared to the lowest third, the middle third of exposure was associated with about 2.26 times the risk for ADHD.
The highest third of exposure was associated with 2.86 times the risk.
Similarly, ASD risk was higher for those in the middle third (2.14 times) and highest third (3.62 times).
The authors conclude that their results support earlier studies linking acetaminophen exposure in utero to an increased risk for ASD and ADHD.
They note that their study has several limitations, including its reliance on self-reported acetaminophen use, which may be subject to recall bias.
However, they say that their study adds to the growing body of evidence linking prenatal acetaminophen exposure to neurodevelopmental disorders such as ASD and ADHD.
