A systematic literature review was performed to address this gap in the literature.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods.<\/jats:title><jats:p>A systematic review of original articles (1975\u20132015) was performed using Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library. We included search terms for SLE, pregnancy, and monitoring. We also hand-searched reference lists, review articles, and grey literature for additional relevant articles.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results.<\/jats:title><jats:p>The search yielded a total of 1106 articles. After removing 117 duplicates, 929 articles that were evidently unrelated to our topic based on title and\/or abstract, and 7 that were in a language other than English or French, 53 articles were included for full-text review. Following a more in-depth review, 15 were excluded: 6 did not use any measure of SLE activity and 6 did not specifically address SLE monitoring in pregnancy; 1 case series, 1 review, and 1 metaanalysis were removed. Among the 38 included studies, presence of active disease, antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies positivity, and abnormal uterine and umbilical artery Doppler studies predicted poor pregnancy outcomes. No studies evaluated an evidence-based approach to the frequency of monitoring.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion.<\/jats:title><jats:p>Few existing studies address monitoring for optimal care during SLE pregnancies. The available data imply roles for aPL antibodies measurement (prior to pregnancy and\/or during the first trimester), uterine and umbilical artery Doppler studies in the second trimester, and following disease activity. Optimal frequency of monitoring is not addressed in the existing literature.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3899\/jrheum.171023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,15]],"date-time":"2018-07-15T11:25:11Z","timestamp":1531653911000},"page":"1477-1490","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Monitoring of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Pregnancies: A Systematic Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.3899","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Emily G.","family":"McDonald","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lyne","family":"Bissonette","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephanie","family":"Ensworth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Natalie","family":"Dayan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ann E.","family":"Clarke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephanie","family":"Keeling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sasha","family":"Bernatsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Evelyne","family":"Vinet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2262","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2018112909390559000_45.10.1477.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"15","DOI":"10.1016\/S0889-857X(21)00943-1","article-title":"Epidemiology of systemic lupus erythematosus","volume":"14","author":"Fessel","year":"1988","journal-title":"Rheum Dis Clin North Am"},{"key":"2018112909390559000_45.10.1477.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/M14-2235"},{"key":"2018112909390559000_45.10.1477.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1718","DOI":"10.1002\/acr.22373","article-title":"Systemic lupus erythematosus and outcomes in first and subsequent births based on data from a national birth registry","volume":"66","author":"Wallenius","year":"2014","journal-title":"Arthritis Care Res"},{"key":"2018112909390559000_45.10.1477.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"127.e121","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2008.03.012","article-title":"A national study of the complications of lupus in pregnancy","volume":"199","author":"Clowse","year":"2008","journal-title":"Am J Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"2018112909390559000_45.10.1477.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/0891693031000067313"},{"key":"2018112909390559000_45.10.1477.6","unstructured":"World Health Organization .
