"Pregnancy Outcomes in Women with Lupus Significantly Improved in Last 18 Years" - Erin Michael
Maternal mortality drastically decreased and overall pregnancy outcomes improved in women with systemic lupus erythematosus during the last 18 years, according to researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. “Systemic lupus erythematosus is a systemic autoimmune disease that predominantly affects women of child-bearing age,” said Yiming Luo, MD, resident of medicine at Mount Sinai West, Mount Sinai St. Luke’s, and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Dr. Luo added, “Pregnancy in SLE was once considered so high risk that physicians counseled women against it and even advised pregnancy termination. Pregnancy in women with SLE still carries higher maternal and fetal risk than it does in healthy women.”
