Background Not all patients fulfil criteria for specific autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs) and are then defined as having non-criteria (nc)ARD. It is uncertain whether well-recognised associations with adverse pregnancy outcomes in patients with criteria ARD also exist in patients with ncARD or undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD). Therefore, we undertook a systematic review of the prevalence of adverse pregnancy outcomes in various ncARD and UCTD compared with criteria ARD to identify whether there are increased risks and to examine for any benefits of treatment. Methods This study was conducted in accordance with the guidance of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) standard. A systematic literature review was performed using online databases including Medline and PubMed from inception to the beginning of April 2021 using appropriate keywords for various ARD and pregnancy outcomes. Results After screening 665 articles, 36 articles were chosen for full text review and 15 selected for final analysis. There were eight studies of nc antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) of more than 7000 pregnancies and seven studies of UCTD of more than 1000 pregnancies. No studies of any other ncARD in pregnancy were identified. We found that patients with either ncAPS or UCTD seem to have an increased burden of poor pregnancy outcomes compared with the general population. Despite the heterogeneity and poor quality of the studies, we also noted that ncAPS and criteria APS patients may have similar rates of obstetric complications with standard and/or non-standard APS treatment regimens. Conclusion Our findings of increased risks of poor pregnancy outcomes in patients with ncAPS or UCTD will be helpful for pre-pregnancy counselling and management of these patients in pregnancy and support their referral to specialist obstetric-rheumatology and obstetric-haematology clinics.

Levothyroxine Treatment

Abstract Background Levothyroxine replacement therapy may decrease the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes among women with subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). The aim of this study is to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the risk of adverse pregnancy, perinatal, and early childhood outcomes among women with SCH treated with levothyroxine. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted using Ovid-Medline, Ovid-EMBASE, Pubmed (non-Medline), Ebsco-CINAHL Plus with full text and Cochrane Library databases. Randomized controlled studies (RCTs) and observational studies examining the association between treatment of SCH during pregnancy and our outcomes of interest were included. Studies that compared levothyroxine treatment versus no treatment were eligible for inclusion. Data from included studies were extracted and quality assessment was performed by two independent reviewers. Results Seven RCTs and six observational studies met our inclusion criteria. A total of 7342 individuals were included in these studies. RCTs demonstrated several sources of bias, with lack of blinding of the participants or research personnel; only one study was fully blinded. In the observational studies, there was moderate to serious risk of bias due to lack of adjustment for certain confounding variables, participant selection, and selective reporting of results. Pooled analyses showed decreased risk of pregnancy loss (RR: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.67 to 0.93) and neonatal death (RR: 0.35; 95% CI: 0.17 to 0.72) associated with levothyroxine treatment during pregnancy among women with SCH. There were no associations between levothyroxine treatment and outcomes during labour and delivery, or cognitive status in children at 3 or 5 years of age. Conclusion Treatment of SCH with levothyroxine during pregnancy is associated with decreased risks of pregnancy loss and neonatal death. Given the paucity of available data and heterogeneity of included studies, additional studies are needed to address the benefits of levothyroxine use among pregnant women with SCH.
