The goal of this observational study is to learn about exposure to tralokinumab during pregnancy, as well as atopic dermatitis (AD) during pregnancy. The main question the study aims to answer is whether pregnant people who have been exposed to tralokinumab during pregnancy experience any differences in pregnancy and infant outcomes compared to women with atopic dermatitis who have not been exposed to tralokinumab during pregnancy. Participants are not required to take tralokinumab during the study. Participants will be asked to: * Complete 1-3 phone interviews during pregnancy and 1-2 phone interviews after delivery * Release medical records for pregnancy and for their child * Complete an online survey about their baby's development at 4 months and 12 months of age * May be asked to have a study doctor examine their child All information is collected remotely, and no visits to the study site are required.
This Organization of Teratology Information Specialists (OTIS) Pregnancy Registry, is a United States (US) based registry designed to monitor pregnancy and infant outcomes among women in the US and Canada. This study is a prospective, observational cohort study of pregnancy and infant outcomes in pregnant people with exposure to tralokinumab for atopic dermatitis compared to people who have atopic dermatitis who have not used tralokinumab during pregnancy. Researchers will compare pregnancy outcomes of those who were exposed to tralokinumab during pregnancy to pregnancy outcomes in people who did not use tralokinumab anytime in pregnancy, or 16 weeks prior to pregnancy, but who may or may not have used another medication to treat their atopic dermatitis during pregnancy. Information about infant health will be collected through one year of age.

RECRUITINGPrevalence of Major Structural Birth Defects
Major structural defects is defined and classified using the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) coding manual that is used for the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP) classification of major structural defects. All major structural defects will be adjudicated by the co-investigator on this study.
Time frame: Up to 1-year of age
Number of pregnancies ending in Spontaneous Abortion/Miscarriage
Spontaneous abortion/miscarriage is defined as non-deliberate fetal death that occurs prior to 20 weeks after the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP).
Time frame: Up to 20 weeks post-LMP
Number of pregnancies ending in Stillbirth
Stillbirth is defined as non-deliberate fetal death anytime in gestation at or after 20 weeks after the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP).
Time frame: From 20 weeks post-LMP to end of pregnancy
Number of pregnancies ending in Elective Termination/Abortion
Elective termination/abortion is defined as deliberate termination of pregnancy through medication or surgical procedures. Elective abortions are classified for medical or social reasons.
Time frame: At the completion of pregnancy; before 40 weeks post-LMP
Number of pregnancies ending in Premature Delivery
Premature delivery is defined as live birth prior to 37 weeks gestation as counted from LMP (or calculated from first-trimester ultrasound-derived due date if LMP uncertain or more than 1 week discrepant).
Time frame: Through 9 months of pregnancy
A Pattern of Minor Structural Birth Defects
A pattern of 3 or more minor structural defects occurring in at least two children in any of the cohorts and identified by a study examiner based on the study-related physical examination.
Time frame: Through completion of the study; an average of 1 year
Number of children who are Small for Gestational Age
Small for gestational age is defined as birth size (weight, length or head circumference) less than the 10th centile for sex and gestational age using standard pediatric CDC growth curves for full term or preterm infants.
Time frame: At birth
Number of children who are Small for Age for Postnatal Growth
Small for age for postnatal growth is defined as postnatal size (weight, length or head circumference) less than the 10th centile for sex and age using National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) pediatric growth curves, and adjusted 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
Number of children diagnosed with a Serious or Opportunistic Infections
A diagnosis of tuberculosis, x-ray proven pneumonia, neonatal sepsis, meningitis, bacteremia, invasive fungal infection, pneumocystitis, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, abscess (deep tissue), and infections requiring hospitalization identified in live born infants
Time frame: Up to 1 year of age
Screening for Neurodevelopmental Milestones
Screening for neurodevelopment performed using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ). An abnormal score is defined in the scoring guidelines. Abnormal scores of clinical concern are defined by test-based, standardized scoring criteria reported in the ASQ-3 User's Guide. These represent scores that are less than two standard deviations below the mean for each category. Borderline scores are scores that fall between 2.0 and 1.5 standard deviations below the mean. The ASQ-3 does not provide a borderline score range but they suggest that children be monitored when they have scores 1.0 - 2.0 standard deviations below the mean.
Time frame: 4 months and 12 months of age
Number of Perinatal, Neonatal, or Infant Deaths
Stillbirth is defined as non-deliberate fetal death anytime in gestation at or after 20 weeks after the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP). Neonatal death is defined as death of live born infant within 28 days of delivery. Infant death is defined as death of a live born infant \>28 days old to 1 year of life.
Time frame: From 20 weeks gestation to 12 months of age
