Article Synopsis
- The study assessed pregnancy outcomes in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Greece, revealing significant risks for complications like foetal loss and prematurity, with 53.7% of pregnancies affected by adverse outcomes.
- SLE patients with antiphospholipid antibodies faced higher risks of foetal issues, while those with low disease activity at pregnancy onset experienced better outcomes; ongoing disease activity and medication use during pregnancy also influenced foetal health.
- The research emphasized the need for careful pregnancy planning and disease management for SLE patients, as flares were common, particularly in the postpartum period and linked to specific symptoms like alopecia and nephritis.
