Objective: Pregnancies of women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are associated with preterm delivery. As preterm delivery is associated with long-term neurological morbidity, we opted to evaluate the long-term neurologic outcomes of offspring born to mothers with SLE regardless of gestational age. Methods: Perinatal outcomes and long-term neurological disease of children of women with and without SLE during pregnancy were evaluated. Children of women with and without SLE were followed until 18 years of age for neurological diseases. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) models were used to assess perinatal outcomes. To compare cumulative neurological morbidity incidence a Kaplan–Meier survival curve was used, and a Cox proportional hazards model was used to control for confounders. Result: A total of 243,682 deliveries were included, of which 100 (0.041%) were of women with SLE. Using a GEE model, maternal SLE was noted as an independent risk factor for preterm delivery. The cumulative incidence of long-term neurological disease was not found to be significantly higher when using the Kaplan Meier survival curves and maternal SLE was not found to be associated with long-term neurological disease of the offspring when a Cox model was used. Conclusion: Despite the association of SLE with preterm delivery, no difference in long-term neurological disease was found among children of women with or without SLE.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic systemic autoimmune illness characterized by autoantibodies directed at nuclear antigens that cause clinical and laboratory abnormalities, such as rash, arthritis, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, alopecia, fever, nephritis, and neurologic disease. Most or all of the symptoms of acute lupus are attributable to immunologic attack on the affected organs. Many complications of long-term disease are attributable to both the disease and its treatment. Intense sun exposure, drug reactions, and infections are circumstances that induce flare; the aim of treatment is to induce remission. This chapter is divided into sections dealing with SLE’s definitions; epidemiology; pathogenesis; disease classification, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis; and treatment. This review contains 10 figures, 12 tables, and 97 references. Key Words: Systemic lupus erythematosus, Dermatomyositis, Sjögren syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis, Discoid lupus erythematosus, truncal psoriasiform, annular polycyclic rash
