Miscarriage related?

Has anyone with rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis struggled with multiple miscarriages?

  1. Hi , thank you for your question. I know this can be a bit of a hard and sensitive topic for some people. But I hope anyone who may feel comfortable enough, may be able to chime in with a bit of their experiences. In the meantime, I did a bit of searching. It seems that there have been a lot more studies on rheumatoid arthritis and miscarriages compared to PsA. This study reported the risk being slightly higher in people with RA: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26178278/. I also found this study that looks at people with PsA, but the amount of people they studied is quite small: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7359657/. The study found the rate of miscarriage (30%) following PsA diagnosis was worse than those prior to diagnosis though the difference was not statistically significant. I hope this may help. Warmly, Minel (Team Member)
