Maternal and perinatal outcomes in vasculitis: a 15-year study at a Portuguese tertiary multidisciplinary centre
Pregnancy in women with vasculitis is often successful in the context of clinical remission at conception. Our findings are exploratory but suggest that prednisolone use and disease relapse may increase the risk of APOs, highlighting the importance of preconception counselling and multidisciplinary care throughout pregnancy.
