Popis: Title: Pregnancy Outcomes after Exposure to TNF-α Inhibitors During Pregnancy for the Treatment of Arthritic Diseases: A Meta-Analysis Authors: Mirdamadi K, Salinas T, Vali R, Papadimitripulous M, Piquette-Miller M Background: Auto-immune arthritic diseases affect many women of child-bearing age. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitors are currently used for the treatment of various immune-mediated diseases during pregnancy. However, there has been no evaluation of safety in the treatment of arthritic diseases during gestation. Objective: To analyze the risk of adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes after treatment of arthritic diseases with TNF-α inhibitors. Methods: Major databases including Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science, were searched inclusive to April 2016. Observational prospective cohort studies evaluating pregnancy outcomes after exposure to TNF-α inhibitors for the treatment of arthritic diseases during pregnancy were included. Data on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes was extracted from all included studies. A meta-analysis was performed using inverse-variance random effect with a 95% confidence interval (95%CI) and p
