Multivariable adjusted risk ratio computed using Poisson regression with robust errors for: Maternal age, Race (white), SES (high), Pre-pregnancy BMI, Smoking, Parity, Pre-existing medical disease (HTN, thyroid disease, diabetes, asthma), and previous adverse pregnancy outcome (preeclampsia, preterm, IUGR)

b

Active disease defined by HAQ score > 0.5 and RAPID3 score ≥7 and inactive disease defined as HAQ score ≤0.5 and RAPID3 score ≤6; Disease activity measures missing for 14 subjects in PsA and 19 subjects in AS at intake and 34 subjects in PsA and 38 subjects in AS at 32 weeks. HAQ = health assessment questionnaire; RAPID3 = Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data 3.
