Pre-eclampsia is more common in women with active psoriatic arthritis in pregnancy: a population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the association between peripheral disease activity and pre-eclampsia, gestational hypertension, preterm birth and fetal growth in women with psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

Methods

Data from a Norwegian nationwide register (RevNatus) were linked with data from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway (MBRN). Cases were singleton births in women with PsA with available disease activity assessment (n=109) included in RevNatus 2010 to 2019. Singleton births registered in MBRN during the same decade served as population controls (n=575 798). Disease activity was assessed by Disease Activity Score based on 28 joints using C reactive protein (DAS28-CRP) in 2nd and 3rd trimester. Active PsA was defined as DAS28-CRP≥2.6 (n=34) and inactive PsA as DAS28-CRP<2.6 (n=75
