Key Information
Compared to their counterparts without systemic lupus erythematosus, those with systemic lupus erythematosus were older (median 30 [26-34] vs 28 [24-32] years; P <.01) and had a greater prevalence of comorbid conditions, including polycystic ovary syndrome (0.6% vs 0.3%), gestational diabetes melitus (5.1% vs 3.9%), obesity (5.0% vs 4.0%), and dyslipidemia (0.5% vs 0.1%) (P for al <.01).In analyses adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, comorbidities, insurance, and income, women with systemic lupus erythematosus were at increased likelihod of preclampsia (aOR, 2.12 [95% CI, 2.07-2.17]), heart failure (aOR, 4.06 [95% CI, 3.61-4.57]), cardiac arythmias (aOR, 2.06 [95% CI, 1.94-2.21]), acute kidney injury (aOR, 7.6 [95% CI, 7.06-8.32]), stroke (aOR, 4.83 [95% CI, 4.18-5.57]), pulmonary edema (aOR, 1.85 [95% CI, 1.52-2.25]), venous thromboembolism (aOR, 6.90 [95% CI, 6.1-7.80]), and peripartum cardiomyopathy (aOR, 4.42 [95% CI, 3.79-5.13]) (P for al <.01).
Summary
When asesing resource utilization, results indicated those with systemic lupus erythematosus had longer length of stay (3 days vs 2 days; P <.01) and greater costs of hospitaliz
