The clinical features of NLE infants were hemolytic anemia (8%), thrombocytopenia (2.7%) and hyperbilirubinemia (5.3%). There was no neonate with a congenital complete heart block or skin lesion. Moreover, logistic regression analysis found that neonates born to women with SLE increased the risk of preterm birth [odd ratio (OR) 8.87, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 4.32\u201318.21, p &amp;lt; 0.001], low birth weight (OR 10.35, 95% CI 5.08\u201321.08, p &amp;lt; 0.001), birth asphyxia (OR 2.91, 95% CI 1.26\u20136.73, p = 0.011) and NICU admission (OR 4.26, 95% CI 2.44\u20137.42, p &amp;lt; 0.001). SLE disease activity and corticosteroid and azathioprine usage were associated with preterm delivery in pregnant women with SLE.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The major clinical features of NLE patients were hematologic and hepatobiliary abnormalities in our study.

The clinical features of NLE infants in our study were hemolytic anemia (8%), thrombocytopenia (2.7%) and hyperbilirubinemia (5.3%). There was no neonate with a congenital complete heart block or skin lesion. We also compared the neonatal outcomes between 118 pregnant women with SLE and 264 randomly selected healthy pregnant women. Our study found that the neonates born to women with SLE increased the risk of preterm birth, low birth weight, birth asphyxia and NICU admission. Moreover, SLE disease activity and corticosteroid and azathioprine usage were associated with preterm delivery in pregnant women with SLE.<\/jats:p>\n
