Abstract | BACKGROUND: Currently, there are few studies that describe pregnancy in dermatomyositis/ polymyositis patients, and they are largely limited to case reports or studies with few samples. OBJECTIVES: Therefore, we describe the pregnancy in a large sample of patients with dermatomyositis/ polymyositis and to analyze the outcomes in those who became pregnant during or after disease onset. METHODS: RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: The adverse obstetric events were related to clinical intercurrences and the pregnancy does not seem to carry a worse prognosis specifically in disease (for example: disease relapsing). Moreover, dermatomyositis or polymyositis onset during pregnancy or the postpartum period had good outcome after drug therapy.
