Summary
Chronic diseases, such as osteoporosis and asthma, pose serious risks for Australian women. Reproductive health is central to women’s use of health services across life and is linked with the risk of chronic diseases. This research will build on two decades of linked data in Australia’s leading study of women’s health. It aims to guide development of women’s use of reproductive and maternal health services as an opportunity to prevent chronic diseases and improve long-term health.
Why Is There An Increased Risk Of Severe Adverse Perinatal Outcomes After The Use Of Clomiphene Citrate For Infertility Treatment?

Summary
Clomiphene citrate (CC) has been a first line treatment for female infertility internationally since the 1960’s. However, safety studies using routine prescribing practices were never performed, and numerous data sources now indicate that CC is associated with major adverse outcomes if the fetus is inadvertently exposed. We are linking prescription data to perinatal outcomes to confirm how CC is associated with adverse events so as to inform prescriber and practice change.
