Kishore S, et al. - Using the largest inpatient care database, researchers estimated the frequency of occurrence of complications during pregnancy for females with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) vs the general obstetric population. They observed 31,439 women with RA among 42.32 million (total number of obstetric hospitalization). They noticed a significantly higher prevalence of hypertensive diseases, premature rupture of membranes, antepartum hemorrhage, preterm delivery, intrauterine growth retardation, and cesarean delivery among maternal RA population after adjusting for potential confounders. They did not report any difference between the prevalence of postpartum hemorrhage and the risk of inpatient mortality between the two groups.
