HealthEMJLupus Remission Linked to Better Pregnancy Outcomes
A new study found women with lupus who aren't in remission face much higher rates of pregnancy complications, especially those already considered high-risk.
A prospective study found higher pregnancy complication rates in women with lupus who were not in remission, particularly among high-risk patients.
A prospective study of 107 pregnancies found lupus disease activity significantly affects the rate of pregnancy complications.
Adverse outcomes affected 24% of standard-risk patients but jumped to 59% among higher-risk women excluded from earlier research benchmarks.
The findings suggest that reaching disease remission before conceiving may be especially important for women with lupus who have additional risk factors.
