Second-trimester fetal monitoring and preterm delivery in pregnancies with systemic lupus erythematosus and/or circulating anticoagulant.

Antepartum fetal monitoring was initiated at 19 to 26 weeks' gestation in 15 pregnancies: six (five with systemic lupus erythematosus, one with circulating anticoagulant) with a complicated antepartum course (group 1); three, all systemic lupus erythematosus, with a normal antepartum course (group 2); and six normal control pregnancies (group 3). Group 1 all exhibited nonperiodic fetal heart rate decelerations, without the classical appearance of early, late, or variable decelerations, and four of the six had fetal bradycardia. In three group 1 cases, there was no active intervention because of early gestational age, and fetal death occurred at 23, 27, and 27 weeks, respectively. The other three patients in group 1 received betamethasone and were delivered by cesarean section at 28 to 30 weeks. There were no cases of respiratory distress syndrome or neonatal death. Five of the six infants in group 1 were small for gestational age. The nonperiodic fetal heart rate decelerations were absent in both groups 2 and 3 who all had normal fetal outcomes at term. The abnormal finding of women with nonperiodic fetal heart rate decelerations at 20 to 28 weeks may detect the fetus at risk for intrauterine death in pregnancies complicated by systemic lupus erythematosus or circulating anticoagulant. Continued surveillance, steroid induction of lung maturity, and delivery should be considered in these cases.[1]
