Abstract

Dear Editor,

We appreciate the time and effort that Tran and colleagues [1] have taken to review our recent study, titled "The Use of Multiple Medications During Pregnancy Among an Ethnically Diverse Population in South-Eastern Melbourne: A Retrospective Analysis to Explore Potential Risks and Complications", published in Drug Safety [2]. We are grateful for the constructive feedback and the interest in conducting further analyses. We would like to begin by clarifying that most issues raised are already addressed in the article, with the exception of expanded obstetric complication regressions (paragraph 5 below and Table 1) and covariate overlap (paragraph 6 below and Table 2 below).
