After adjustment for potential confounding the risk of QP CP remained elevated among infants of mothers who consumed aspirin ([OR, 3.0; 95 CI, 1.3-6.9) and NSAIDs (OR, 2.4; 95% CI, 1.04-5.8). The risk of DP CP was also associated with NSAID, but only if consumption was not approved by a physician (OR, 3.5; 95% CI 1.1-11.0).
