What this trial studies

This observational study aims to gather information about the experiences of women with various types of vasculitis who are pregnant. Participants will complete online surveys assessing their vasculitis severity, pregnancy-related experiences, and outcomes at multiple points during their pregnancy and postpartum. The surveys are designed to be accessible in several languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Turkish. Data collected will be managed by the University of South Florida's Data Management and Coordinating Center.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the management of pregnancy in women with vasculitis, potentially improving maternal and fetal outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: While there may be limited studies specifically focused on pregnancy outcomes in women with vasculitis, the approach of using patient-reported outcomes through surveys has been successful in other similar patient registries.
