Impact of preeclampsia on infant and maternal health among women with rheumatic diseases

OBJECTIVES: We sought to identify the impact of preeclampsia on infant and maternal health among women with rheumatic diseases.

METHODS: A retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted to describe pregnancy and infant outcomes among women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with and without preeclampsia as compared to women with other rheumatic diseases with and without preeclampsia.

RESULTS: We identified 263 singleton deliveries born to 226 individual mothers (mean age 31 years, 35% non-Hispanic Black). Overall, 14% of women had preeclampsia; preeclampsia was more common among women with SLE than other rheumatic diseases (27% vs 8%). Women with preeclampsia had a longer hospital stay post-delivery. Infants born to mothers with preeclampsia were delivered an average of 3.3 weeks earlier than those without preeclampsia, were 4 times more likely to be born preterm, and twice as likely to be admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. The large majority of women with SLE in this cohort were prescribed hydroxychloroquine and aspirin, with no clear association of these medications with preeclampsia.

CONCLUSIONS: We found preeclampsia was an important driver of adverse infant and maternal outcomes. While preeclampsia was particularly common among women with SLE in this cohort, the impact of preeclampsia on the infants of all women with rheumatic diseases was similarly severe. In order to improve infant outcomes for women with rheumatic diseases, attention must be paid to preventing, identifying, and managing preeclampsia.
