OBJECTIVE We examined obstetric and fetal/neonatal outcomes in women with a history of recurrent miscarriage. METHODS We reviewed the obstetric records of all 5,829 nulliparous pregnant women who delivered at #8805;14 weeks' gestation from 2008 through 2013 at our perinatal center. Of these women, 74 had a history of recurrent miscarriage (1.3%). The control population consisted of 4,176 null...

Recurrent miscarriages are one or more pregnancy losses before 20-24 weeks of gestation or below a fetal weight of 500 g (Pic. 1). About 1% of women in reproductive age are affected by recurrent miscarriages. The majority of patients are counseled to try to conceive again, and chances are about 60% that the next pregnancy is successful without treatment. However, each additional loss worsens th...

etiologic factors for recurrent miscarriage (rm) include autoimmune diseases, the most frequently antiphospholipid syndrome and thyroiditis. some women who suffer from rm might also have an altered immune system. we aimed to evaluate possible associations between anti-thyroid and anti-phospholipid antibodies in women with rm. in a retrospective case series 1 on 156 women with rm, major outcome ...

one of the major causes of spontaneous abortion before the fourth month of pregnancy is chromosomal abnormalities. we report an unusual case of a familial balanced chromosomal translocation in a consanguineous couple who experienced 4 spontaneous abortions. chromosomal studies were performed on the basis of g-banding technique at high resolution and revealed 46, xx, t (16 6) (p12 q26) and 46, x...
