In a just-published study in the journal Lancet eClinical Health , researchers at the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) and Providence showed nuanced pregnancy outcomes for pregnant individuals with autoimmune disease. - Each type of autoimmune disease is different, each person has their own medical history, and risk may change over the course of pregnancy.
- This study highlights the importance of taking comorbidities into consideration,” said ISB Associate Professor Jennifer Hadlock, MD , who led the study.
- “These results can help reshape discussions surrounding autoimmune disease and pregnancy, and bring fresh perspective to a traditionally understudied area in research,” Hadlock said.
