Popis: BackgroundPregnancy is a topic of fundamental importance for women living with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARD). Efforts at national and international levels have been put in the collection and harmonization of data in order to implement an evidence-based management of pregnant patients.ObjectivesThe P-RHEUM.it study was designed as a nationwide, web-based longitudinal observational cohort study to collect data about pregnancy in ARD in 26 centers in Italy. The study started in May 2018 and has been supported by the Italian Society for Rheumatology.MethodsPregnant patients with a definite rheumatic disease according international criteria were enrolled up to gestational week (GW) 20. The course of maternal disease activity, the use of medications, fetal and maternal complications, and the quality of life (EuroQoL questionnaire) were collected for each trimester, as well as pregnancy outcome, mode of delivery, neonatal complications, and maternal and children’s follow-up to 6 months after delivery, including the screening for post-partum depression by means of EPDS (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale).ResultsAs of December 2021, 758 pregnancies had been enrolled, 205 (27%) ongoing and 553 (73%) with outcome. Pregnancy loss occurred in 54 (9.8%) cases (40 spontaneous miscarriages; 6 voluntary terminations). Live births were 495 (89.5%), perinatal death occurred in 4 (0.7%) cases. Table 1 reports on the group of 495 live births, along with subgroups of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), the two most represented diseases. Regarding treatments, 166 (30%) pregnancies were exposed to corticosteroids, 239 (43%) to hydroxychloroquine, 59 (10.7%) to csDMARDs, 84 (15.2%) to TNF inhibitors, 1 (0.2%) to non-TNFi bDMARDs, 299 (54%) to low dose acetylsalicylic acid, and 126 (22.8%) to heparin.Table 1.PREGNANCIES WITH LIVE BIRTHS, EXCLUDING PERINATAL DEATHSTotal pregnancies (n=495)RA pregnancies (n=69)SLE pregnancies (n=93)Age at conception (years)34 (31 - 37)34.5 (32 - 38)34 (31 - 36)Disease duration (years)6.1 (2.2 - 11.1)7.1 (4.3 - 11.6)9.3 (5.9 - 15.9)Caucasian431 (87.8%)53 (79.1%)75 (80.6%)Never smokers358 (73.8%)53 (80.3%)66 (71.7%)Body Mass Index >3045 (9.5%)7 (10.3%)5 (5.6%)Arterial Hypertension6 (1.2%)0 (0%)2 (2.2%)Time to pregnancy (months)3 (1 - 6)3 (1 - 6)3 (0 - 10)Physician-reported flares in the 12 months prior to conception107 (23%)22 (34.4%)13 (14.8%)Physician global assessment at enrolment (VAS 0-100)5 (0 - 17)5 (0 - 20)4 (0 - 10)Patient global health at enrolment (VAS 0-100)18 (7 - 30)10 (5 - 29)10 (5 - 25)EuroQoL at enrolment (-1.6 – 1)1 (0.8 - 1)1 (0.8 - 1)1 (0.8 - 1)Flares during pregnancy35 (7.1%)6 (8.7%)7 (7.5%)Hypertensive disturbances*8 (1.7%)1 (1.6%)6 (6.6%)Delivery at term (≥37 GW)410 (85.1%)53 (77.9%)74 (80.4%)Spontaneous vaginal delivery173 (35.9%)23 (33.8%)23 (25.3%)Congenital malformations11 (2.4%)2 (3.1%)1 (1.1%)Small for gestational age (SGA) neonate24 (4.9%)1 (1.4%)9 (9.9%)Breastfeeding in the first 4 weeks after delivery341 (79.7%)45 (77.6%)59 (76.6%)EPDS score at risk for post-partum depression22 (14.1%)0 (0%)3 (10.3%)Continuous variables are expressed as median (interquartile range); *gestational hypertension/preeclampsia/HELLP syndrome/eclampsia.ConclusionMultiple factors may have contributed to the high rate of live births, including good disease control before and during pregnancy thanks to the use of anti-rheumatic drugs and low frequency of general risk factors. SLE pregnancy was affected by a higher frequency of complications (hypertensive disturbances, SGA babies) as compared to RA pregnancy. Nearly 80% of patients breastfed in the first month after delivery. For the first time, data about the screening questionnaire for post-partum depression were collected, showing at least 1 out 10 patients can be at risk.References[1]Meissner Y et al.
