Perinatal Outcomes of 40 Pregnancies with Familial Mediterranean Fever

INTRODUCTION: To evaluate maternal and fetal outcomes of pregnancies diagnosed with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF).
METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 40 pregnancies diagnosed with FMF who received antenatal care at our perinatology unit between 2012 -2017 included in this clinical study. Clinical characteristics of patients, perinatal and maternal outcomes were evaluated.
RESULTS: The mean patient age was 30.75 ±6.15 and the nulliparity rate was 42,5 %. The mean duration of illness was found to be 8,36 ± 5.44 years. 7 patients had an attack during pregnancy. 90 %of the patients received medical treatment. Mean gestational age at delivery was 37,3±4.5, mean birth weight was 3115±547 g. Preterm delivery, fetal growth restriction and preeclampsia rates were 10, 5, 10 %respectively. Fetal and neonatal loss, congenital anomalous birth was not observed.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Multidisciplinary approach to the care of pregnancy diagnosed with FMF is associated with good maternal and fetal outcomes.
