Abstract

Investigators at Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark; and Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, GA, conducted a population-based study of all children born alive in Denmark from 1996 to 2006 to determine the risk of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and childhood autism (CA) in children exposed to valproate during pregnancy.
