Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Children Born to Women with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
FY 2012-13
Summary
The prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorders and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), has reached epidemic levels, affecting approximately 10% of school-age children. Children born to women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) seem to have a substantially increased risk of these disorders compared to children born to healthy women. In a large population-based cohort using Quebec's administrative health data, we aim to determine if children born to women with SLE have an increased risk of autism spectrum disorders and ADHD compared to children born to women without SLE.

Abstract
The prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorders and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), has reached epidemic levels, affecting approximately 10% of school-age children. Children born to women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) seem to have a substantially increased risk of these disorders compared to children born to healthy women. In a large population-based cohort using Quebec's administrative health data, we aim to determine if children born to women with SLE have an increased risk of autism spectrum disorders and ADHD compared to children born to women without SLE.
