Clinical Trial Summary

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a kind of systemic autoimmune disease which can cause multiple organs and system damage, which often occurs in women of childbearing age. Compared with healthy pregnant women, SLE patients have higher incidence of premature delivery, preeclampsia and fetal loss during pregnancy. Since SLE patients usually have disease activity during pregnancy and postpartum, and a variety of maternal and fetal diseases are closely related to SLE, it is very important to monitor the disease activity and drug treatment of SLE patients during pregnancy.

Description:

Objective: To study the risk factors of poor pregnancy outcomes in SLE patients, and evaluate impact of different therapies on the maternal and fetal health. Methods: Our department and Shanghai Gothic Network Technology Co., Ltd. jointly established the chronic disease management of SLE patients during pregnancy and lactation by using Smart System of Disease Management#SSDM#. With this platform#patients in pregnancy can consult with rheumatologists face to face and follow-up regularly. Follow-up: Consultation and followup will be scheduled every 4 weeks from confirmed pregnancy until delivery.
