Objective: To screen for a high risk of preeclampsia in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Methods: A total of 513 antenatal care records of pregnant patients with SLE were obtained, and the data were randomly assigned to either a development set (n = 342) or a validation set (n = 171). Preeclampsia predictors were identified with stepwise regression, and a coefficient B of each variable was used to establish a prediction model and risk scoring system. Goodness-of-fit was assessed by the Hosmer-Lemeshow and Omnibus tests, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (area under the curve) was used to assess discrimination. Validation was performed using the validation set.
Results: The preeclampsia incidence was 14.4% in the pregnant patients with SLE. A mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥96.5 mm Hg (odds ratio [OR] 213.15 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 24.39-999.99]), prepregnancy hypertension (OR 18.19 [95% CI 2.67-125.01]), a hematologic disorder (OR 4.13 [95% CI 1.03-16.67]), positive IgM anticardiolipin antibodies (aCLs) (OR 19.85 [95% CI 1.11-333.33]), serum albumin <31.5 grams/liter (OR 9.88 [95% CI 2.07-47.62]), serum uric acid ≥303 μmoles/liter (OR 5.58 [95% CI 1.40-22.22]), and 24-hour urinary protein ≥0.286 grams (OR 14.39 [95% CI 2.43-83.33]) were selected for the preeclampsia prediction model. The area under the curve was 0.975. Preeclampsia prediction model scores >4 indicated a high risk of preeclampsia. For the validation set, the preeclampsia prediction accuracy was 93.6% (sensitivity 88.5%, specificity 94.5%).
Conclusion: A model for predicting the risk of preeclampsia in pregnant patients with SLE was established on the basis of MAP, prepregnancy hypertension, hematologic disorders, IgM aCLs, albumin, uric acid, and 24-hour urinary protein. The model had good predictive efficiency and can help clinicians improve pregnancy outcomes in high-risk women with early interventions.

Background: Digital health innovations provide an opportunity to improve access to care, information, and quality of care during the perinatal period, a critical period of health for mothers and infants. However, research to develop perinatal digital health solutions needs to be informed by actual patient and health system needs in order to optimize implementation, adoption, and sustainability.
Objective: Our aim was to co-design a research agenda with defined research priorities that reflected health system realities and patient needs.

Non-directive pregnancy options counselling (POC) is a core component of comprehensive reproductive health care for pregnant people wanting support in making a pregnancy outcome decision. Approximately one quarter of people with unintended pregnancies and people seeking abortion care seek POC. This study synthesises global evidence on access to and characteristics of quality non-directive POC.

Objectives: Sickle cell disease (SCD), which disproportionately affects minorities, increases complications during pregnancy. Severe maternal mortality is increased in women with SCD, including morbidity related to the disease and other nondisease-related complications. It also can have devastating complications for fetuses, with increases in premature birth and low birth weight.

Introduction: Nutrition during pregnancy significantly impacts maternal and birth outcomes. A key factor contributing to the rise in adverse maternal and birth outcomes is poor nutrition. Produce prescription programs have the potential to address pregnancy-related adverse outcomes such as hypertensive disorders and gestational diabetes, but scientific evidence is limited.
