Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of the NURTURE Registry is to enroll those who are pregnant and/or potentially capable of pregnancy. Participants will complete patient-reported surveys at enrollment and periodically prior to conception, during pregnancy, and following the completion of the study pregnancy. The study rheumatologist will provide the patient's diagnosis and record rheumatic disease activity at each clinic visit. Medication use, vital signs, and routine laboratory assessments will be collected throughout this period. Pregnancy, maternal, and infant outcomes will be obtained through the electronic medical record and from patient-reported surveys. This Registry will provide a rich data repository for research to improve pregnancy and birth outcomes for women with rheumatic diseases and will be used in on-going and future research to better understand the risk factors that are associated with poor pregnancy outcomes, including preterm birth, intrauterine growth restriction, and preeclampsia, as well as the effects of medication on disease management in pregnancy. Infant outcomes, medications, provider care, pregnancy planning, and social determinants of health on pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes will also be collected.
The majority of the information collected in NURTURE, such as labs, disease activity, and medications, PRO's will originate from the EHR. Upon consent, participants will complete an enrollment survey that will include relevant patient reported measures. No study visits outside of routine care will occur. Participants may also complete a yearly survey about their reproductive health journey.
The registry will be ongoing and will include periodic analysis of clinical data within this protocol. Additional analysis will be covered under seperate IRB approved protocols. Enrollment in the registry does not significantly increase the risk for a patient.
Detailed Description
The purpose of the NURTURE Registry is to obtain information on those who are pregnant and/or potentially capable of pregnancy. This Registry will provide a rich data repository for research to improve pregnancy and birth outcomes for women with rheumatic diseases and will be used in on-going and future research to better understand the risk factors that are associated with poor pregnancy outcomes, including preterm birth, intrauterine growth restriction, and preeclampsia, as well as the effects of medication on disease management in pregnancy. Infant outcomes, medications, provider care, pregnancy planning, and social determinants of health on pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes will also be collected.
Participation in NURTURE will be seamless with routine patient care. Any patient with a rheumatic disease seen by a participating site study provider as part routine care, and who could potentially become pregnant (females between the ages of 12 and 55), or who is currently pregnant, will be invited to participate in NURTURE. Participants will complete patient-reported surveys at enrollment and periodically prior to conception, during pregnancy, and following the completion of the study pregnancy. The study rheumatologist will provide the patient's diagnosis and record rheumatic disease activity at each clinic visit. Medication use, vital signs, and laboratory assessments will be collected as part of standard clinical care vistis and used in this registry. Pregnancy, maternal, and infant outcomes will be obtained through the electronic medical record and from patient-reported surveys.
Prior to or at each standard of care (non-study, routine) visit, the patient will complete routine clinical questionnaires.
This is a natural-history study and will not include medications, laboratory testing, or procedures outside of the standard of care. Management of the rheumatologic disease will be directed based on patient needs by the local rheumatologist and obstetrician.
Enrollment in the registry will not dictate specific therapy.
