Filter by:This study aims to explore the potential correlation between decreased ovarian reserve and previous history of early miscarriage.
To investigate the effect of anticoagulant treatment on pregnancy outcomes in patients with previous recurrent miscarriages (RM) who carry a methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene mutation. In this longitudinal retrospective study, patients with RM were treated during pregnancy with either: (i) 100 mg/day aspirin and 5 mg/day folic acid (group 1); or the same protocol plus 0.4 mg/day enoxaparin (group 2). An age-matched group of triparous women without RM or thrombophilia was used as the control group (group 3).
The objective of this single-center prospective observational study is to clarify the trend of maternal serum 25(OH)D levels before pregnancy and during pregnancy, and to explore the correlation between serum 25(OH)D levels and subsequent pregnancy outcomes of patients with abortion, so as to provide certain scientific evidence for finding the optimal serum level of 25(OH)D and optimal vitamin D supplementation to maintain a healthy pregnancy.
Recurrent miscarriages (RM) affects 3% of all fertile couples, but remains unexplained in most cases, limiting therapeutic options. Possibly the maternal immune system plays a role in recurrent miscarriage. Prednisolone suppresses the immune system and might enable development of normal pregnancy. In this randomized controlled clinical trial the investigators will study the effect of prednisolone on the live birth rate in patients with RM. Secondary, the tolerability and safety for mother and child and the cost-effectiveness is investigated. In the study one group of pregnant women with RM and gestational age <7 weeks will receive prednisolone, the other group will receive a placebo. Total use of the medicine during this study is 8 weeks, further care during the study is routinely antenatal care. Subjects will be asked to fill in 4 short questionnaires and will have contact with a research nurse at different time points to gain information on the course of the pregnancy and possible side effects. Results of the study will be implemented in (inter) national guidelines, to effect everyday practice.
The aim of this study is to compare the thyroid hormone values and anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) levels of women with a diagnosis of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and healthy pregnancies. The primary objective is to find out the relationship between recurrent pregnancy loss with thyroid hormone levels and anti-TPO positivity.
The definition of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) has changed over the years, and most societies now advocate defining RSA as two or three consecutive or discontinuous miscarriages with the same sexual partner before 24 weeks gestation In recent years, the incidence of this disease has been on the rise, occurring in about 1%- 5% of pregnancy in women at childbearing age, and the success rate of second pregnancy in RSA females has been significantly reduced The etiology of RSA is extremely complex, including anatomical factors, genetic factors, endocrine factors, infectious and immune factors, and pre-thrombosis etiology. However, the cause of the disease is unclear in half of patients and known as unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA)
Spontaneous pregnancy loss is a relatively common phenomenon, with 10-15% of clinically recognized pregnancies ending in miscarriage.1 Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a disorder defined by two or more failed pregnancies2. According to various studies, pregnancy loss has been described as a traumatic event for couples even if the loss occurs at a very early stage of pregnancy. Few controlled studies dealt with the effects of the miscarriage on the psychological condition of women during a subsequent pregnancy, 4,6-8. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of "at home ultrasound" in addition to routine prenatal care in reducing maternal anxiety during pregnancy for patients with history of recurrent pregnancy loss. i.

Implantation is a determining step in human reproduction which requires the transition from a pro-inflammatory state to an anti-inflammatory state allowing the implantation of a competent embryo within a receptive endometrium, and then the maternal immunotolerance towards the alloantigenic fetus. Repeat implantation failures (RIFs), that refers to the fail to achieve a clinical pregnancy after the transfer of at least 3-4 good quality embryos or two blastocysts, and unexplained recurrent spontaneous miscarriage (RM) (≥2-3) could be related in some patients to immune imbalances characterized by an excessive and prolonged inflammatory response and/or a defect of anti-inflammatory regulation. In this context, several therapies have been evaluated in patients with RIFs or RMs in order to restore the immune balance, with heterogeneous results. No serum biomarker assay has been routinely approved to identify patients with immune imbalances that may explain repeated pregnancy failures and to predict the success of the subsequent IVF/ICSI cycle. The immunological analysis on peripheral blood will be based on the determination of the proportions of immune subpopulations (e.g. CD4+ et CD8+, TH1, TH2, TH17, Treg, ILC 1, ILC2, and ILC3) on the one hand and the circulating level of plasma cytokines on the other hand.
Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is defined as 2 or more consecutive miscarriages1 This condition affects about 1-3% of couples during their reproductive years. The role of vaginal infections in RPL is controversial and microbiological screening is not recommended as per the international guidelines. Current theories suggest that altered vaginal and uterine microbiota may trigger an inflammatory response in the endometrium even without the presence of clinical infection which could affect the success of embryo implantation and future development of pregnancy2 .Changes in the uterine microbiota can lead to chronic endometritis (CE). This condition is caused by continuing inflammation of the endometrium, involving a variety of common bacterial and yeast species and has been associated with RPL3 . Notably, CE can be found in up to 45% of infertile patients4. Current diagnosis of CE is based on histopathological examination, immunohistochemistry assay for CD138 cells and morphological appearance on hysteroscopy. While antibiotic treatment can improve ongoing pregnancy rates in patients with RPL treatment success is still partial and unpredictable. A mechanistic link is yet to be established between vaginal and uterine microbiota and RPL and it is unknown whether restoration of the microbiome in patients with RPL can improve pregnancy outcomes.
About 1 to 3% of women of childbearing age have repeated early spontaneous miscarriages (RCF) defined by at least 3 fetal losses before 14 weeks of gestation. RCFs may be related to parental chromosomal abnormalities, congenital or acquired uterine abnormalities, hormonal causes (e.g. type 1 and 2 diabetes, ovarian failure), infectious etiology, constitutional or acquired thrombophilia or sickle cell disease. The presence of antiphospholipid antibodies, antithyroid and anti-transglutaminase antibodies in approximately 10% of cases suggests an autoimmune origin for these fetal losses. The role of other antibodies, in particular unconventional antiphospholipid antibodies, remains to be established. Indeed half of RCF cases would be due to an immunological dysregulation of the mother leading to a decrease in tolerance to the fetus. Several studies have shown immune abnormalities, such as an imbalance of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines, an increase in cytotoxic cells and a defect in regulatory cells in the blood of patients. The assessment of these immune abnormalities is not currently carried out routinely in France in women with recurrent early miscarriages. When one of these known causes is excluded, it is unexplained RCF which represents 50% of RCF. In these women with unexplained RCF, slightly more than half could be linked to aneuploidies and primary recurrent spontaneous abortions. The evaluation of the degree of aneuploidy and the genetic origin of fetal losses remains difficult, the examination of the sample of tissue from the miscarriage being rarely available, due to the spontaneous nature of the loss. The constitution of a prospective cohort of patients with RCF is an essential step in exploring the factors associated with the success of treatment.
