A National Population Cohort Study Showed That Exposure to General Anesthesia in Early Childhood Is Associated with an Increase in the Risk of Developmental Delay
This study investigated the relationship between exposure to general anesthesia (GA) and the risk of cognitive and mental disorders. This study has thus investigated the relationships between exposure to GA before the age of 3 and subsequent cognitive and mental disorders in a national-wide research...

description | This study investigated the relationship between exposure to general anesthesia (GA) and the risk of cognitive and mental disorders. This study has thus investigated the relationships between exposure to GA before the age of 3 and subsequent cognitive and mental disorders in a national-wide research sample. We obtained our subjects from the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) of Taiwan, which was based on the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM). Children in the hospital aged less than 3 years old were included if there was GA exposure or not during the period of year 1997 to 2008. Cox proportional hazard regression models adjusted for potential confounding factors were used to estimate the relative magnitude of the risk associated with GA exposure. The cohort contained 2261 subjects with GA and 4522 children without GA as a comparison group. GA exposure group had a higher rate of developmental delay than in the without GA group (hazard ratio 1.46, p < 0.0001). There was no significant difference in the overall incidence of ADHD, autism and intellectual disability between the GA-exposed group and the comparison cohort. In conclusion, this study reported that children exposed to GA early before the age of three had a small association with increased risk of development delay thereafter. |
