Immunosuppressant use and adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with systemic lupus erythematosus: a retrospective cohort study in Korea
Continuity of hydroxychloroquine use from preconception through pregnancy reduces preterm birth risk in SLE. Conversely, early exposure to teratogenic immunosuppressants heightens the risk of spontaneous abortion. These findings underscore the importance of preconception medication planning in women with SLE.
