Description

Kelvin H. M. Kwok and colleagues describe pregnancy outcomes in women with autoimmune disease across three Nordic countries in 2026 work. National health registers in Denmark, Finland, and Sweden supplied the data. The study covered 20,425 singleton pregnancies affected by one of five diseases, with rheumatoid arthritis the largest group.

Common problems included preeclampsia and early rupture of membranes, and emergency cesarean rates ranged from 10 to 21 percent. Between 6 and 18 percent of babies were born preterm, and newborn unit admission varied by disease and country. The multi-country picture gives clinicians a firmer base for counseling women who plan pregnancy with these conditions.
