Worum geht es in dieser Arbeit?

<h4>Aims</h4>To describe pregnancy outcomes in those with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Aotearoa/New Zealand.<h4>Methods</h4>We conducted a retrospective population-based cohort study using linked national datasets from 2005 to 2022. Multivariable logistic regression estimated associations between birth outcomes and timing of SLE diagnosis, end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), ethnicity, maternal age, deprivation quintile and year of parturition.<h4>Results</h4>Among 2450 females with SLE, 1532 were aged 18-45 years. There were 971 births, with a live birth rate of 96.1%. Preterm birth occurred in 19.3%, caesarean section in 36.6%, and induction in 48.1%. Births occurring after the diagnosis of SLE were associated with higher odds of preterm birth (OR 1.77, 95%CI 1.17-2.71), induction (OR 2.21, 95%CI 1.58-3.11) and ESKD (OR 23.7, 95%CI 4.05-450).<h4>Conclusions</h4>SLE is associated with increased obstetric risk in New Zealand, particularly for pregnancies after diagnosis, and among those with ESKD, with trends toward higher risk in Māori and Pacific ethnicities.
