Maternal and infant outcomes in sarcoidosis pregnancy: a Swedish population-based cohort study of first births.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It is unclear whether sarcoidosis, a multisystem inflammatory disease, is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. We aimed to assess the risk of adverse maternal and infant outcomes in sarcoidosis pregnancies, focused on first births.
