Assessment of Maternal-fetal Outcome in Pregnancy From Medically Assisted Fertilization Techniques in Women With Systemic Immunoreumatologic Diseases
Systemic rheumatological diseases often occur in young women of childbearing age and can therefore impact fertility. There are diseases, such as arthritis, which present no contraindication to assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs), because there is no influence on the disease itself if the disease activity at conception is stable. On the other hand, patients suffering from connective tissue diseases, primarily Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and patients suffering from primary or SLE-related Anti-Phospholipid Antibody Syndrome (APS), deserve more targeted therapies both in the context of ARTs and in the ensuing pregnancy. To evaluate the response to ARTs in patients with systemic rheumatological diseases, both in terms of reactivation of the underlying pathology and in terms of ARTs outcome.
