Cardiovascular Events During Pregnancy: Implications for Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes in Individuals With Autoimmune and Rheumatic Diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study examined maternal cardiovascular (CV) events relative to adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) among individuals with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs), primary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), and those with neither.

Methods

Using a California population-based birth cohort (2005-2020), we identified those with CV events (CVEs), ARDs, and APS through International Classification of Diseases, 9th and 10th revisions, Clinical Modification codes in maternal discharge records. Selected APOs identified from birth certificates were preterm birth (PTB; < 37 weeks' gestation), small-for-gestational-age infants (SGA; birth weight < 10th percentile for age and sex), and a composite of either outcome. Adjusted risk ratios (aRRs) for adverse outcomes and their 95% CI
