RheumaPreg 2025: 13th International Conference On Reproduction, Pregnancy and Rheumatic Diseases

RheumaPreg 2025: 13th International Conference On Reproduction, Pregnancy and Rheumatic Diseases is organized by AIM Group International - Milan Office and will be held from May 08 - 10, 2025 at Austria Trend Hotel Savoyen Vienna, Vienna, Wien, Austria.

Description:
As we assemble for this year’s conference, we embark on a comprehensive exploration of the intricate relationship between rheumatic diseases and pregnancy, addressing key challenges and breakthroughs in our evolving understanding. We would like to exchange experiences, catch-up on the past two years, enjoy the springtime over a cup of Viennese coffee with old friends and new colleagues.

We are committed to interdisciplinarity. For this reason panel discussions, curb-side consultations will involve esteemed experts from the fields of rheumatology, obstetrics, haemostasiology, intensive medicine, nephrology and neonatology, pathology and patient representatives.

Among others, updates on evolving guidelines, medication use, counselling, use of reproductive medicine techniques, management during and after pregnancy and acute situations will be elaborated and presented together with clinical case. We will dig down to the root of common problems during pregnancy and learn about immunology and placental pathologies related to rheumatic diseases and complications.

Furthermore, the conference will provide a platform for revisiting teratogenicity of therapies, scrutinizing the latest evidence to ensure an updated perspective on treatment safety during pregnancy, breastfeeding and data about long-time follow up of the children.

Lastly, we will revisit the progress of the existing registries and address the problems associated with the lack of standardised definitions, particularly delving into the complexity of terms like “adverse obstetric outcome” or “disease activity” which pose obstacles in comparing results.

We would like to thank the RheumaPreg 2025 Congress Committee, the organizational team and all members of the RheumPreg community for their commitment and efforts in shaping this congress. Additionally, we wish to express gratitude to all delegates who will attend and contribute to the Congress in 2025 in Vienna.

Join us in this intellectual journey, where we will not only revisit established knowledge but also navigate the complexities of interdisciplinary management, pose new questions and address the latest developments.

Curbside Consultations:
These sessions encourage a spontaneous discussion of a difficult clinical case.  The case is presented by a speaker who raises a few key questions. The experts give their opinion on the best diagnosis/treatment options and discuss the case among themselves as physicians often do in their daily practice (without any slides).

The case is not previously known by any of the discussants. The speaker’s role is to ensure a lively conversation and cover the various approaches, as well as to involve the audience in the conversation.

The Debate Session:
The purpose of the debate is to have an intense discussion on some of the most burning controversies related to a specific topic. The two sides of the debate will be defended by two leading experts in the field, and the discussion will be controlled by a moderator whose role is to ensure that all aspects of the debate are duly discussed, as well as to involve the audience in the conversation.
