Women With Lupus Face Troubles in Second Pregnancies
Women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) face challenges in having second pregnancies compared to those without the condition. A study found that women with SLE had a lower rate of second deliveries and a higher risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. These findings emphasize the need for careful monitoring and individualized care for pregnant women with SLE.
- ▪Women with SLE had a lower incidence rate of second delivery per 1000 person-years than those without SLE.
- ▪Among women who experienced any adverse pregnancy outcomes in their first delivery, those with SLE were less likely to have a second delivery.
- ▪Women with SLE had a higher risk for recurrence of any adverse pregnancy outcome in their second delivery compared to those without SLE.
