Increased usage of special educational services by children born to mothers with systemic lupus erythematosus and antiphospholipid antibodies

摘要

IntroductionSurveys of long-term health and developmental outcomes of children born to mothers with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have suggested an increase in learning disabilities among these children. We performed this observational study to investigate the relationship between maternal autoantibodies and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) in maternal lupus patients and neurocognitive development among their offspring.
