Nausea and Vomiting in Pregnancy (NVP)
In a landmark paper, Dr. Koren analyzed the estimated cost and actual burden to society caused by nausea with and without vomiting among the pregnant woman associated with the Hospital for Sick Children's Motherisk program. Another study of NVP conducted by the research group at Motherisk addressed the effects of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy and its treatment with diclectin on child neurodevelopment. The conclusion, published in The Journal of Pediatrics in April 2009, states that "NVP has an enhancing effect on later child outcome. Diclectin does not appear to adversely affect fetal brain development and can be used to control NVP when clinically indicated."
