Article Synopsis
- Autoimmune connective tissue diseases (CTDs) such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) significantly impact pregnant women, leading to maternal and fetal complications.
- A retrospective study analyzed data from over 18 million deliveries and found higher odds of maternal death, acute kidney injury, and severe complications in mothers with CTDs, alongside increased risks of adverse fetal outcomes like stillbirth and preterm labor.
- The findings highlight the need for specific preconception counseling and management approaches to improve health outcomes for pregnant women with autoimmune CTDs.
