Pregnancy outcomes in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies: a Portuguese multicentre study
In this cohort, APOs were frequent, particularly among pregnancies complicated by disease activity. Although remission at conception was common, it did not fully prevent flares or obstetric complications. Anti-Jo-1 positivity appeared to cluster among the more severe cases, suggesting potential clinical relevance for monitoring. Multidisciplinary care and preconception optimization remain essential. Larger multicentre registries will be crucial to improving understanding and management of pregnancy in IIM.
