Abstract
AbstractTakayasu arteritis (TA) is a systemic disease affecting women of reproductive age. Similarly to other systemic autoimmune diseases, pregnancies in patients suffering from TA are at high risk for adverse outcomes; however, the precise incidence of adverse events has not been assessed in a systematic approach. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of adverse pregnancy outcomes in TA. Searches were conducted on PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus and Cinahl databases from inception to 25 May 2022. Three independent investigators extracted data and assessed the risk of bias using ROBINS-1 tool. We used a random effects model to calculate the prevalence of the adverse pregnancy outcomes in TA, namely miscarriage, hypertension and pre-eclampsia. We calculated the prevalence of the adverse outcomes in pregnancy for TA. We included 27 studies, with 825 pregnancies. The occurrence of miscarriage, hypertension and pre-eclampsia in patients with TA was 16% (CI 12–21%, p < 0.01), 37% (CI 30–45%, p < 0.01) and 14% (CI 8–23%, p < 0.01), respectively. The results of our meta-analysis indicate that pregnancies in patients with TA are at increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes compared to the general population, suggesting that pregnant women with TA should be closely monitored.Trial registration: There was no registration for this systematic review.
