Chronic inflammatory arthritis and pregnancy
BACKGROUND: Chronic inflammatory arthritis often appears first in women of fertile age. Their pregnancies are considered to be of low risk compared with pregnancies in women with systemic inflammatory connective tissue disease.
METHOD: The article is based on literature searches in PubMed for studies of the pregnancy outcomes of women with chronic inflammatory arthritis. Studies without a reference group or studies based on analyses of mixed populations of inflammatory arthritis and connective tissue disease patients were excluded.
RESULTS: Recurrent findings in the published literature were: low mean birth weight, a higher proportion of children with a birth weight of less than 2500 grams, children born small for gestational age, preterm births and a higher proportion of Caesarean sections. A high level of disease activity is associated with the risk of low birth weight and preterm birth. However, serious complications are not frequently reported. Glucocorticosteroids and disease-modifying medicines such as sulphasalazine and hydroxychloroquine may be used during pregnancy. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen may be used until gestational week 32. Methotrexate is contraindicated and must be terminated three months before conception. The TNF inhibitors adalimumab, etanercept and infliximab may be used until conception.
INTERPRETATION: Pregnancy is seldom absolutely contraindicated for women with inflammatory arthritis. Pregnancy should be planned carefully and preferably be confined to periods with a low level of disease activity. First pregnancies require special attention. Interdisciplinary collaboration between rheumatologists and gynaecologists is recommended for monitoring patients with active arthritis.
