Résumé

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) need long-term treatment, which can influence pregnancies in young women. Uncontrolled IBD is associated with poor pregnancy outcomes. Despite the labeling of Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antibodies (anti-TNFα) which indicates that their use is not recommended during pregnancy, anti-TNFα are increasingly being used during pregnancy and may expose women and their fetuses to treatment-related complications. Existing recommendations on the timing of treatment during pregnancy are inconsistent. We aimed to assess the safety of anti-TNFα treatment in pregnant women with IBD, and up to the first year of life for their children.
