Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the factors associated with fetal loss in Chinese women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in a large cohort of SLE patients in the CSTAR (Chinese SLE Treatment and Research Group) registry. METHODS We compared the clinical characteristics and auto-antibody profiles between SLE patients with fetal loss and SLE patients with normal pregnancies. The relationship between selected variables and fetal loss was examined by univariate analysis and binary logistic regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 992 patients with 2026 pregnancies were recruited. Fifty women experienced fetal loss, including 49 spontaneous abortion, eight stillbirths and three neonatal deaths. The overall fetal loss rate was 3.0% (60/2026). Arthritis and serositis were observed significantly more frequently (P < 0.05) in normal pregnancy women. The rate of thrombocytopenia was significantly increased in patients with fetal loss (30.0% vs. 16.1%, P = 0.010), while there was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of nephropathy, central nervous system involvement between the normal pregnancy group and fetal loss group. Factors that associated with fetal loss included anti-phospholipid antibodies (aPL) (OR 2.299; 95% CI 1.058-4.993; P = 0.035) and anti-Sjögren syndrome antigen A (SSA) antibody (OR 2.283; 95% CI 1.275-4.088; P = 0.005), and thrombocytopenia (OR 2.241; 95% CI 1.192-4.213; P = 0.012). However, arthritis (OR 0.544, 95% CI 0.307-0.965, P = 0.037) was associated with favorable fetal outcome. CONCLUSIONS Both univariate analysis and binary logistic regression analysis suggest that thrombocytopenia, aPL antibodies and anti-SSA antibody are associated with fetal loss in Chinese SLE women, while arthritis may be a possible factor related to favorable pregnancy outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the associations between systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and outcomes in first and subsequent births. METHODS Data from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway during the period December 1, 1998 to December 31, 2009 were used to assess maternal and perinatal outcomes in women diagnosed with SLE compared with the general population. Outcomes of first and subsequent births were analyzed separately. Associations between SLE and pregnancy outcomes were assessed in logistic regression analyses and are shown as adjusted odds ratios (aORs) after adjustment for maternal age, gestational age, smoking habits, and previous cesarean section (CS), when relevant. RESULTS We analyzed 95 first and 145 subsequent births in patients and compared them with references. The risk of CS was two-fold higher in SLE patients in first and subsequent births. More newborns of patients had a birth weight <2,500 gm (aOR 5.00 [95 % confidence interval (95% CI) 3.02, 8.27] in first births and aOR 4.33 [95% CI 2.64, 7.10] in subsequent births). Additionally, preterm birth was more frequent among SLE patients (aOR 4.04 [95% CI 2.45, 6.56] in first births and aOR 3.13 [95% CI 1.97, 4.98] in subsequent births). Congenital malformations were more prevalent among children of patients than references (aOR 2.71 [95% CI 1.25, 5.86] in first births and aOR 3.13 [95% CI 1.69, 5.79] in subsequent births). Perinatal death was more frequent in first births among patients (aOR 7.34 [95% CI 2.69, 20.03]), but no difference was observed in subsequent births. CONCLUSION Pregnancy complications were more frequent in SLE patients than references, and the greatest differences between groups were observed in first births.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinical features, outcome, and risk factors of disease flares in patients with pregnancy-related lupus (PRL). Methods Medical charts of 155 consecutive PRL inpatients were systematically reviewed, including demographic data, clinical features, laboratory findings, treatment, complications, and outcome. Results PRL cases were divided into active (a-PRL) (n = 82, 53.0%) and stable lupus (s-PRL) (n = 73, 47.0%). Compared with nonpregnant active female systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, a-PRL including new-onset lupus (n-PRL) and flare lupus (f-PRL) (n = 41 respectively), had a higher incidence of renal and hematological involvement but less mucocutaneous and musculoskeletal involvement (p<0.05). The incidence of preeclampsia/eclampsia, fetal loss, and preterm birth were significantly higher in a-PRL than in s-PRL (p<0.05). Despite receiving a more vigorous glucocorticoid treatment, a-PRL mothers had a poorer prognosis (p<0.001). Five (6.1%) of them died and 13 (15.9%) developed severe irreversible organ failure, whereas none of these events was observed in the s-PRL group. Multivariate logistic analysis indicated that a history of lupus flares and serological activity (hypocomplementemia and/or anti-dsDNA positivity) at the time of conception were associated with lupus flares in PRL mothers. Conclusions SLE patients with a flare history and serological activity at the time of conception were at an increased risk of disease flares during pregnancy and puerperium. a-PRL patients were more prone to renal and hematological involvement, pregnancy complications, and a poorer prognosis despite more vigorous glucocorticoid treatment.

Abstract
Ocular inflammatory disorders disproportionately affect women, and the majority of affected women are of childbearing age. The role of sex or reproductive hormones has been proposed in many other inflammatory or autoimmune disorders, and findings from non-ocular autoimmune diseases suggest a complex interaction between sex hormones, genetic factors and the immune system. However, despite the age and sex bias, factors that influence this disparity are complicated and unclear. This review aims to evaluate the gender disparities in prevalence, incidence and severity of the most common infectious and non-infectious ocular inflammatory disorders.

Abstract
Some of the most dangerous and costly complications of human pregnancy, including premature labor and preeclampsia/eclampsia, have remained unexplained. While not noted by the authors of a recently published study of three distinct groups of patients with thyroid disease, their data may offer new insights into the interplay between thyroid autoimmune disease, indeed possibly autoimmunity in general, and human pregnancy. This editorial discusses a report of 223,512 pregnancies (2002-2008) from a retrospective U.S. cohort, the Consortium of Safe Labor, reported by Männistö et al. from the Epidemiology Branch, Division of Epidemiology, Statistics and Prevention Research, Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health, Rockville, Maryland in the July 2013 issue of The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. Reading between the lines of this publication offers potential insights into the etiologies of preeclampsia/eclampsia and of term as well as premature labor. Moreover, this study, unintentionally, may also offer insights into currently still only poorly understood immune dysfunction that links autoimmunity with adverse pregnancy outcomes.
