What this Trial Is About

This research aims to understand the experiences of women with vasculitis who become pregnant. It focuses on assessing the severity of their vasculitis, their pregnancy-related experiences, and the outcomes of their pregnancies. The study is observational and seeks to gather detailed information through surveys over time. Women aged 18 to 50 years who have a diagnosis of vasculitis and are currently pregnant will be invited to participate. They will complete online questionnaires at several points at study entry, during the second trimester, the third trimester, and after giving birth. These surveys take about 20 minutes each and are available in multiple languages including Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Turkish. Participants will provide information through these surveys, which will be securely stored and later analyzed by the study team. The main outcome measured is the unique pregnancy characteristics among women with vasculitis over a four-year period. This research involves no in-person visits and allows participants to contribute from home through their online responses.
