Collaborating with a large HMO in Israel, he and his multinational colleagues studied metoclopramide use in pregnant women and its association with babies' health outcomes - specifically, birth defects, premature birth, low birth weight, Apgar score (which provides an immediate measure of a baby's physical condition at birth) and infant death...
