Impact of systemic lupus erythematosus on maternal and fetal outcomes following pregnancy: A meta-analysis of studies published between years 2001-2016.

CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis has shown SLE to indeed have a high impact on maternal and fetal outcomes following pregnancy. Therefore, special treatments and care should be allocated to those women in order to manage adverse outcomes that might follow, and to improve successful normal delivery, term infants and to reduce congenital abnormalities in infants who were born from mothers with SLE.
