Pregnancy outcomes and perinatal complications of Asian mothers with juvenile idiopathic arthritis – A case-control registry study
Pediatric Rheumatology Jan 29, 2020
Zhang-Jian SJ, Yang HY, Chiu MJ, et al. - A case-control registry study was performed to evaluate the obstetrical and neonatal outcomes among women with Asian descent. They set a population-based birth cohort in Taiwan between 2004 and 2014 through the linkage of Taiwan National Health Insurance database and National Birth Registry. A sum of 2,100,143 newborns were included in this study. They applied conditional logistic regression to estimate odds ratios for maternal and neonatal outcomes crude and with adjustment. The outcomes demonstrated that babies born to mothers with JIA were more likely to have low birth body weight, with an adjusted OR of 1.35 when compared with babies born to mothers without. There were no differences in other perinatal complications between women with and without JIA including stillbirth, prematurity, or small for gestational age. They found limited adverse obstetrical and neonatal outcomes among Asian mothers with JIA. Intensive care may not be necessary for JIA mothers and their newborns.
