Abstract

This study investigated outcomes of children born to women who seroconverted to rubella immune during pregnancy.

In a prior 2012-2013 study of 296 women who were rubella non-immune, 26 (8.8%) seroconverted to rubella immune during pregnancy. These same women and their now 8-9 years-old children were queried as to the children's developmental health. After removing exclusions and those lost to follow-up, the total response rate was 115/204 (56.4%). Three sets of twins in the non-immune group increased the total to 118. The seroconversion group had more autism (12.5% versus 3.9%, P=.19), ADHD (37.5% versus 18.6%, P=.10), and any developmental disability (43.8% versus 31.4%, P=.39) but none showed a statistical difference between the two groups. Compared to Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring data, the seroconversion group had a greater prevalence of autism (OR 6.07, P=0.051, nonsignificant); and to data derived from the National Health Interview Survey, a nonsignificant higher odds of autism (OR 5.57, P=0.060), higher odds of ADHD (OR 5.65, P=0.0027) and of an y developmental disability (OR 3.59, P=0.014).The non-immune group also demonstrated a statistically significant increase for both ADHD and any developmental disability, but not for autism.
