Autoimmune conditions are associated with adverse pregnancy and offspring outcomes; however, the prevalence in pregnant women is not well understood. Estimates based on administrative data alone may underestimate prevalence.
A cross-sectional survey of women attending a tertiary referral hospital for antenatal care in December 2018-February 2019 and review of the hospital's maternity database of women giving birth from October 2017-June 2018 to estimate autoimmune disease prevalence.
A total of 400 women completed surveys (78% response rate) and 41 (10.3%) reported an autoimmune disease, most commonly Hashimoto's thyroiditis (2.8%) and psoriasis (2.5%). From the maternity database, 112 of 2756 women giving birth (4.1%) had a recorded autoimmune disease, most commonly Hashimoto's thyroiditis (1.3%) followed by coeliac disease, Graves' disease, and immune thrombocytopenic purpura (all 0.4%).
Autoimmune disease prevalence in pregnant women is higher when self-reported and may be more common than previously reported using administrative data.
自身免疫性疾病与不良妊娠及后代结局相关;然而,孕妇中该疾病的患病率尚不明确。仅基于行政数据的估计可能会低估患病率。
对2018年12月至2019年2月在一家三级转诊医院接受产前检查的女性进行横断面调查,并回顾该医院2017年10月至2018年6月分娩女性的产科数据库,以估计自身免疫性疾病的患病率。
共有400名女性完成调查(应答率为78%),41名(10.3%)报告患有自身免疫性疾病,最常见的是桥本甲状腺炎(2.8%)和银屑病(2.5%)。在产科数据库中,2756名分娩女性中有112名(4.1%)记录有自身免疫性疾病,最常见的是桥本甲状腺炎(1.3%),其次是乳糜泻、格雷夫斯病和免疫性血小板减少性紫癜(均为0.4%)。
孕妇自身免疫性疾病的自我报告患病率较高,可能比之前使用行政数据报告的更为常见。
