P72 Knowledge and use of contraceptive methods in portuguese women with systemic lupus erythematosus

Abstract

53.8% were iatrogenic preterm deliveries. There was an incidence of pre-eclampsia of 11.9% and 10.7% of the pregnancies were complicated by fetal growth restriction. The percentage of caesarean delivery was 40.5%. 10.7% of neonates had criteria of neonatal lupus, and there was one case of congenital complete heart block, which required a neonatal cardiac pacemaker. There were no cases of neonatal deaths or asphyxia. Conclusions In SLE pregnant patients, to ensure the best maternal and fetal outcomes, it is crucial that the pregnancy occurs in a period of immunological stability as well as an adequate surveillance by a multidisciplinary team prepared to control all the complications that may arise.
