    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Obstetrics
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

    Background:

    • Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease affecting connective tissues.
    • Pregnancy outcomes in SSc patients are not well-established due to infrequent occurrences.

    Observation:

    • This study reviewed obstetric experiences of 19 female SSc patients.
    • Three pregnancies in two SSc patients were analyzed for maternal and fetal outcomes.

    Findings:

    • Maternal complications included hypertension and congestive heart failure.
    • Two premature deliveries occurred, but all infants survived.
    • Pregnancy in SSc patients may be associated with reduced fertility and increased risks.

    Implications:

    • Further research is needed to optimize pregnancy management in SSc patients.
    • Increased surveillance and multidisciplinary care are crucial for pregnant women with SSc.
    • Understanding these risks can guide reproductive counseling for women with systemic sclerosis.
