Multicenter Study
Conception and pregnancy outcome in women with inflammatory bowel disease: A multicentre study from Japan.
Neither conceptions and pregnancy outcomes nor the safety of medications for childbearing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients has been investigated in Asia. The aim of this study is to analyse conception and pregnancy outcomes of Japanese female IBD patients. ⋯ In Japanese UC patients, conception and pregnancy outcomes after disease onset were comparable to the outcomes observed prior to disease onset, whereas CD appeared to be associated with adverse outcomes. Caesarean operation and LBW were more frequently observed in CD patients who had a history of surgery for perianal lesions and bowel resection.
