Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:This study aims to analyze factors related to pregnancy outcomes in women with positive antiphospholipid antibodies and previous adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) prospectively. METHODS:Patients' characteristics were described. Factors associated with obstetric complications were analyzed using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS:A total of 128 females with 73.4% non-criteria obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome (NC-OAPS) were included. APOs accounted for 38.3%, of which 65.3% were fetal losses. Live birth rates in criteria OAPS and NC-OAPS were similar (76.5% and 74.5%). For the whole patients, antinuclear antibody (ANA) titer ≥ 1:160 (OR 5.064, 95% CI (1.509, 16.995), P = 0.009) was a risk factor for APOs and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) use (OR 0.149, 95% CI (0.029, 0.775), P = 0.024)) was a protective factor. Age (OR 1.159, 95% CI (1.011, 1.329), P = 0.034) and previous APOs ≥ 3 times (OR 3.772, 95% CI (1.14, 12.435), P = 0.029) were risk factors for fetal loss, and LMWH use (OR 0.068, 95% CI (0.009, 0.486), P = 0.007) was a protective factor. Regular rheumatology visits was a protective factor for APOs and fetal loss (OR 0.085, 95% CI (0.024, 0.306), P < 0.001; OR 0.019, 95% CI (0.004, 0.104), P < 0.001). The proportion of it decreased in APOs and fetal loss groups (53.1% and 28.1%). Glucocorticoid use was a risk factor for APOs in NC-OAPS and higher serum C3 levels in the first gestational trimester was a protective factor for fetal loss (OR 3.703, 95% CI (1.402, 9.777), P = 0.008; OR 0.041, 95% CI (0.002, 0.947), P = 0.046). CONCLUSION:Age, APO history, ANA titer, LWMH and glucocorticoid use, serum C3 levels, and regular rheumatology visits were related to obstetric complications. Key Points • This was one of the few prospective studies focused on patients with positive antiphospholipid antibodies and previous adverse pregnancy outcomes. The majority were NC-OAPS patients. • The study first evaluated the impact of rheumatologists' monitoring based on individual disease assessments on pregnancy outcomes. The live birth proportion was similar in patients with criteria OAPS and NC-OAPS when treated. • Age, APO history (≥ 3 times), ANA titer (≥ 1:160), LMWH use, glucocorticoid use, and serum C3 were factors related to obstetric complications.
