Reproductive Health Framework for Care

Narrative review and commentary proposes framework to address care gaps beyond disease control

Share

Patients with systemic autoimmune and rheumatic diseases (SARDs) face increased risks in pregnancy such as preeclampsia and fetal death. A framework proposed by Dr. Mehret Birru Talabi and Dr. Sonya Borrero aims to integrate sexual and reproductive health care into rheumatology practices to mitigate these risks. Their review highlights persistent care gaps and suggests that improving collaboration between rheumatologists and other healthcare providers, along with optimizing patient-centered care, can enhance reproductive outcomes and address medication safety concerns.
