This is a prospective observational registry study to evaluate fetal, infant and childhood outcomes in women exposed to evolocumab during pregnancy
This pregnancy registry will be conducted by University of California Research Center for the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists (OTIS) which is a network of university and health department based telephone information centers serving pregnant women and healthcare providers throughout North America. Participants will be enrolled on an ongoing basis through year 10 of the study and each will be followed from the time they enroll, through the 5-year postnatal follow up period for an overall study period of 15 years. Participants are recruited concurrently from callers to OTIS centers, from healthcare providers and through direct to consumer marketing efforts.

Pregnant women exposed to evolocumab. Evolocumab is not administered in this non-interventional study.
Rate of major structural defects
Rate of major structural defects, defined and classified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP) 6 Digit Code Defects List coding manual (CDC, 2007)
Time frame: Up to 1 year of age
Pregnancy Outcome: Rate of spontaneous abortion
Rate of spontaneous abortion where spontaneous abortion is defined as non-deliberate fetal death which occurs prior to 19 completed weeks post-last menstrual period (LMP)
Time frame: Up to 19 wks post LMP
Pregnancy Outcome: Rate of elective abortion
Rate of elective abortion where elective abortion is defined as deliberate termination of pregnancy at any time in gestation
Time frame: Through 9 month pregnancy period
Pregnancy Outcome: Rate of stillbirth
Rate of stillbirth where stillbirth is defined as non-deliberate fetal death anytime in gestation at or after 19 completed weeks post-LMP
Time frame: At or after 19 completed weeks post LMP
Pregnancy Outcome: Rate of premature delivery
Rate of premature delivery where premature delivery is defined as live birth prior to 37.0 weeks gestation as counted from LMP (or ultrasound adjusted date)
Time frame: Prior to 37 weeks of gestation
Infant Outcome: Rate of minor structural defects
Rate of minor structural defects where a minor structural defect is defined as a structural anomaly which has neither cosmetic nor functional significance to the child.
Time frame: Between birth and 12 months post natal

Infant Outcome: Rate of small for gestational age
Rate of small for gestational age where small for gestational age is defined as birth size (weight, length, or head circumference) less than/equal to the 10th centile for sex and gestational age using standard pediatric CDC growth curves for full term or preterm infants
Time frame: At birth
Infant Outcome: Rate of postnatal growth deficiency
Rate of postnatal growth deficiency where postnatal growth deficiency is defined as postnatal size (weight, length, or head circumference) less than/equal to the 10th centile for sex and age using standard pediatric growth curves, and adjusted for postnatal age for premature infants if the postnatal measurement is obtained at less than 1 year of age.
Time frame: Up to 1 year of age

Rate of infant reactions to scheduled vaccinations as assessed throughout the 5-year postnatal follow-up period.
Time frame: Through 5 years postnatal
Infant Outcome: Infant response to IgG-tetanus antibody
Infant response to IgG-tetanus antibody as a biological marker to evaluate humoral immune response via a standardized assay test.
Time frame: Between 6-12 months of age
Infant Outcome: Adverse neurodevelopment outcomes
Adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes as assessed during 2 periods (between 16 months to 17 months 30 days of age and between 3.5-5 years of age) via standardized tests of performance
Time frame: Between 16 months to 17 months 30 days of age and between 3.5-5 years of age

Time frame: Through the first 2 weeks postnatal
Infant Outcome: Pattern of minor structural defects
Pattern of minor structural defects where a minor structural defect is defined as a structural anomaly which has neither cosmetic nor functional significance to the child and a pattern is defined as the same 3 or more minor structural defects in 2 or more children.
Time frame: Between birth and 12 months postnatal
Infant Outcome: Rate of postnatal serious infections
Rate of postnatal serious infections as assessed throughout the 5-year postnatal follow-up period.
Time frame: Through 5 years postnatal
