We identified children diagnosed with kernicterus in the California Department of Developmental Services and estimated an incidence of 0.42 per 100 000 births from 1988 to 2014, significantly decreasing to 0.04 per 100 000 births after 2009. We also examined national infant kernicterus mortality from 1979 to 2016 using CDC data. It did not decrease significantly.

Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...
