O'Grady, KE., Jones, H., Jansson, LM., & Kaltenbach, K. (2013). Response to Wouldes and Woodward: Maternal methadone dose during pregnancy and infant clinical outcome. Neurotoxicology and Teratology, 39, 116-118. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ntt.2013.02.004

Abstract

- We re-examine results of T. A. Wouldes and L. J. Woodward (N & T, 2010).
- No support is found for linear relationships between methadone dose and neonatal outcomes. - - - The conclusion of a methadone dose–response relationship with neonatal outcomes is unwarranted.
