About this study

Official title: Therapeutic Alterations of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Patients in Pregnancy and Feto-maternal Outcomes; Retrospective Cohort Study

to review the changes to SLE medications during pregnancy including adherence and non-adherence to the medications and correlate these to the pregnancy outcome and post-partum course of the disease.

Read the detailed description

This was a retrospective study of pregnancies in SLE patients. These patients had confirmed SLE diagnosis according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria (5). The diagnosis of SLE was confirmed by consultant rheumatologist. These patients were followed up by consultant rheumatologist and obstetrician. The pregnancies' data were curated using the patients' medical files and notes, both paper-based and electronic, antenatal records, rheumatology and hematology clinic notes in addition to delivery and postpartum records. These data were collected including ID numbers, ages, duration of the SLE, their SLE medications before the pregnancy (names, doses and frequency) and whether the SLE was active or not in the 6 months prior to the pregnancy using systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) score. the investigators studied Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), prednisolone and anti-coagulants (low-dose acetylsalicylic acid; 100 mg orally once daily and low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) Enoxaparin 40 mg subcutaneously once daily) as these were the most commonly used medications. The use of these medications in the different pregnancy periods were noted and analyzed (BPG, before pregnancy; DPG, during pregnancy; PG, pregnancy; PP, post-partum). Changes in these medications were also recorded. The data was then analyzed to find out the rates of changes and discontinuation. The postpartum period was also studied similarly. The investigators correlated these alterations to the following feto-maternal outcomes; miscarriage, preterm delivery, intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) and intra-uterine fetal death (IUFD). The 6 months-pre-conceptual SLEDAI score was recorded and investigated in relation to the above mentioned feto-maternal outcomes and postpartum relapse. We divided the pregnancies into 2 groups; Group A, inactive SLE and SLEDAI score of 0-3; Group b, active SLE and SLEDAI score of 4-24.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fetal Growth Retardation, run by University of Jordan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

fetal growth restriction (time frame: 8 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Jan 2022.
