A population-based study of caesarean section in women with juvenile idiopathic arthritis

ABSTRACT: Abstract

Objectives

The literature on delivery methods in women with JIA is limited. Active inflammation is a risk factor for caesarean section (CS) in other arthritic diseases.

Methods

Data from the Norwegian nationwide observational register RevNatus were linked with data from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway (MBRN). Cases comprised singleton births in women with JIA (n = 196) included in RevNatus from 2010 to 2019. Singleton births registered in the MBRN during the same period of time, excluding births in mothe
