Interventions
Collect data on all pregnancies before and after diagnosis of SLE.
For participants who are still alive, data are collected from interviews with patients using a prepared questionnaire that asks about all pregnancies and obstetrical events prior to the diagnosis of SLE. For deceased patients, data are taken from the medical records of obstetrical events. Data will be collected on anthropometric, biological, immunological, and histological features before and after the diagnosis of SLE, if available. The activity and severity of the disease after diagnosis will be assessed using the recommended tools.
