OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between thrombophilia and recurrent spontaneous abortions (RSAs) and to evaluate the efficacy of anticoagulant treatment. METHODS All couples with a history of RSAs were studied by immunologic tests and determination of coagulation factors. Low-molecular-weight heparin and low-dose aspirin daily during pregnancy were used in 29 selected cases with acquired and inherited thrombophilia. The control group included 23 women with a history of RSAs and tests positive for thrombophilia who declined to receive medication during pregnancy. RESULTS All couples with a history of RSAs were studied by immunologic tests and determination of coagulation factors. Low-molecular-weight heparin and low-dose aspirin daily during pregnancy were used in 29 selected cases with acquired and inherited thrombophilia. The control group included 23 women with a history of RSAs and tests positive for thrombophilia who declined to receive medication during pregnancy. CONCLUSIONS All couples with RSAs require screening for thrombophilia. Low-molecular-weight heparin and low-dose aspirin daily during pregnancy appear to have a favorable effect on pregnancy outcome in selected women with RSAs and acquired or inherited thrombophilia.

D006115 Greece A country in southern Europe, bordering the Aegean Sea, Ionian Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea, between Albania and Turkey. The capital is Athens. Crete,Macedonia (Greece)
D006495 Heparin, Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin fractions with a molecular weight usually between 4000 and 6000 kD. These low-molecular-weight fractions are effective antithrombotic agents. Their administration reduces the risk of hemorrhage, they have a longer half-life, and their platelet interactions are reduced in comparison to unfractionated heparin. They also provide an effective prophylaxis against postoperative major pulmonary embolism. LMWH,Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin,Low Molecular Weight Heparin,Heparin, Low Molecular Weight
