Association of epidural analgesia during labor with neurodevelopment of children during the first three years: the Japan Environment and Children’s Study.
Abstract
Epidural analgesia relives pain during labor. However, the long-term effects on neurodevelopment in children remain unclear. We explored associations between exposure to epidural analgesia during labor and childhood neurodevelopment during the first 3 years of life, in the Japan Environment and Children's Study (JECS), a large-scale birth cohort study.
