Building a Framework for Sexual and Reproductive Health Care in the Rheumatology Context: Content and Approaches
Study context
- Population
- People with systemic autoimmune and rheumatic diseases (SARDs)
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- People with SARDs are at higher risk than the general population of adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes (preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, maternal and/or fetal death)
- Authors challenge the notion that immunologic and disease-centric aspects of pregnancy are the only drivers of adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes in SARDs
- Provision of high-quality sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care in the rheumatology context proposed as an upstream factor that could enhance reproductive outcomes
- Emerging approaches to SRH described as a potential framework for high-quality SRH care in rheumatology
