Abstract

Objectives. Women with SLE are at increased risk of cardiovascular events (CVEs), but a relationship with traditional cardiovascular and SLE-specific risk factors has not been established. In unselected populations, adverse pregnancy outcomes linked to maternal-placental syndrome (MPS) are associated with an increased risk of CVEs. However, the effect of MPS on CVEs is unknown in women with SLE. The aim of this study was to determine if MPS increased the risk and accelerated the development of CVEs in women with SLE. Methods. Utilizing Swedish population registries, parous women with SLE were identified. Exposures were the following: MPS defined as hypertensive disorders of pregnancy; small-for-gestational-age; placental abruption and stillbirth; and preterm delivery
