Reproductive Healthcare in Women with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriatic Diseases in Routine Clinical Practice: Survey Results of Rheumatologists and Dermatologists.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The proportion of women being treated with biologics is growing. However, data on treatment recommendation awareness among treating physicians and women who are considering pregnancy and family planning are limited. In this study, we used a questionnaire survey to learn how rheumatologists and dermatologists address women's needs for family planning, pregnancy, and breastfeeding, as well as their possible concerns with concurrent inflammatory rheumatic disease or psoriasis.

Methods

A 55-question (in English) survey aimed at identifying surveyed physicians' current practices regarding the reproductive health needs of women with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, or psoriatic arthritis. This survey included 82 rheumatologists and 38 dermatologists from the Czech Rep
