Lupus and Pregnancy Research
Lead researcher: Dr George Woodward
Funded by: Lupus UK alongside the UCLH NIHR Biomedical Research Centre
Research overview:
Last year researchers were looking for people to help shape research on lupus and pregnancy.
A team from University College London shared a survey exploring:
- How pregnancy affects people living with lupus
- What care and support really matter during pregnancy
- What researchers should focus on in the future
Results:
Two pieces of work were created based on results from the survey. They were both published in the Lupus Science & Medical Journal, as well as shared at the SLEuro congress (March 2026).
The publications are:
- Forecasting flares and future cardiovascular health – A survey of reproductive health research priorities of people living with SLE (website link | poster link)
- Safe, supported, informed: a survey of what people with SLE want to know about pregnancy (website link | poster link)
