Résumé
The question of the long-term safety of pregnancy is a major concern in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, but its study is biased by reverse causation (women with higher disability are less likely to experience pregnancy). Using a causal inference approach, we aimed to estimate the unbiased long-term effects of pregnancy on disability and relapse risk in MS patients, and secondarily the short-term effects (during the per-partum and post-partum years) and delayed effects (occurring beyond one year after delivery).
