Adverse pregnancy outcomes, identified by way of the Swedish Medical Birth Register, were compared through multivariable logistic regression and presented as adjusted odds ratios (aORs). Main outcome was preterm birth (&lt;\u200937\u00a0weeks). Secondary outcomes were preeclampsia, small for gestational age (SGA), low 5-min Apgar score (&lt;\u20097), fetal or infant loss, cesarean section, and gestational diabetes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We found that IgAN was associated with an increased risk of preterm birth (13.1% vs 5.6%; aOR\u2009=\u20092.69; 95% confidence interval [CI]\u2009=\u20091.52\u20134.77), preeclampsia (13.8% vs 4.2%; aOR\u2009=\u20094.29; 95%CI\u2009=\u20092.42\u20137.62), SGA birth (16.0% vs 11.1%; aOR\u2009=\u20091.84; 95%CI\u2009=\u20091.17\u20132.88), and cesarean section (23.9% vs 16.2%; aOR\u2009=\u20091.74, 95%CI\u2009=\u20091.14\u20132.65). Absolute risks were low for intrauterine (0.6%) or neonatal (0%) death and for low 5-min Apgar score (1.5%), and did not differ from the reference population. Sibling comparisons suggested increased risks of preterm birth, preeclampsia, and SGA in IgAN, but not of cesarean section.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conclude that although most women with IgAN will have a favorable pregnancy outcome, they are at higher risk of preterm birth, preeclampsia and SGA.
