Patient-Reported Disease Activity and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Rheumatoid Arthritis.

For women with RA, patient-reported measures of disease activity were associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, and thus may be useful adjuncts to physician-reported measures in identifying pregnancies at greater risk. In contrast, in SLE, while physician measures of disease activity helped predict several adverse pregnancy outcomes, no patient-reported measures were associated with adverse outcomes.
