Objective:
To study the outcome of pregnancy with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) treated by DNA immunoabsorbent therapy.
Methods:
Sixty nine SLE women with pregnancy were randomly enrolled into DNA immunoabsorbent group (35, group I) and common therapeutic group (34, group II) as control. Outcomes of pregnancy and complications were analyzed.
Results:
The incidence of complication and fetus loss in group I was 28.6% (10 cases) and 20.0% (7 cases), while 85.3% (29 cases) and 58.8% (20 cases) in group II, there was very significant difference respectively (P < 0.01). The incidence of premature birth was 8.6% (3 cases) in group I, 26.5% (9 cases) in group II, the difference was significant (P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
DNA immunoabsorbent was more efficient than common therapy in the management of SLE with pregnancy.
