Abstract:
Objective To investigate the pregnancy opportunity and outcome of patients with sysmetic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods We carried out a retrospective analysis of the clinical information of patients who suffered from SLE complicated with pregnancy and were hospitalized to People's Hospital of Peking University from December of 1992 to February of 2012.Chi-square test were used for statistical analysis.Results Forty-nine cases of patients with SLE complicated with pregnancy had 52 pregnancies in total.In 27 cases of planned pregnancies,24 cases(89％ )resulted in live births and 5 cases( 18％ ) had flares during pregnancy.Of the 24 live births,3 cases( 12％)were premature deliveries and 4 cases(17％) had low birth weight infants.In 25 cases of unplanned pregnancies,12 cases (48％) resulted in live births and 20 cases (80％) had flares during pregnancy.Of the 12 live births,6 cases(50％ ) were premature deliveries and 6 cases (50％) were low birth weight infants.The patients in the planned pregnancy group tended to have flares during pregnancy more frequently than those in the unplanned group (P＜0.01),the former were more likely to have live births than the latter (P＜0.01) and were less likely to have premature delivery (P＜0.05).Conclusion Patients with SLE should have planned pregnancy and need collaborative supervision of both rheumatology and immunology department and obstetric department to improve live birth rate,decrease premature delivery and the activity of SLE during pregnancy.
