Filter by: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.

Rationale: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is defined as the loss of two or more conceptions before the fetus reaches viability. It affects 1-3% of all fertile couples and despite extensive diagnostic work-up, in only around 30% an underlying cause is identified. Several factors may increase the risk for miscarriage, but the chance of a normal, successful pregnancy is still high. So, in supporting couples with RPL, an important part of the clinical management of these couples is to provide couples with accurate prognoses for their next pregnancy. The main limitation in current prediction models is the lack of a sufficiently large cohort, adjustment for relevant risk factors such that prognoses are individualized, and separating between the cumulative live birth rate and the chance that the next conception will lead to a live birth. In this project therefore we aim to make an individualized prognosis regarding the future chance of live birth and the chance of a healthy child. This could then lead to improved wellbeing and the ability of making future reproductive choices. Objectives: Primary objective: to predict the chance of a live birth within three years after intake in couples with unexplained RPL Secondary objectives: - to predict the chance of an ongoing pregnancy (>12 weeks) in the next pregnancy in couples with unexplained RPL. - to predict the chance of a complicated pregnancy in couples with unexplained RPL - to predict the chance dynamically of a live birth given the outcome of a pregnancy after intake - to predict the chance of above outcomes in couples with a known cause for RPL Study design: A multicenter retrospective and prospective cohort study. Study population: Couples with females aged ≤42 years in both prospective and retrospective inclusion. Retrospective inclusion: Couples with RPL who visited the RPL outpatient clinic in participating centers from 2006 until the start of this study. Prospective inclusion: new couples with RPL who will visit the clinic from 2021 onwards. Main study parameters/endpoints: - Pregnancy outcomes since intake - Time to pregnancy since intake - Time between pregnancies since intake - Pregnancy complications since intake - All outcomes will be obtained up to a maximum of five years after intake - Patient characteristics: cause for RPL, female age, male age, previous live birth, duration of RPL (since diagnosis) Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Participating in this study does not yield any risks. There could be a burden in case of retrospectively collecting data. Participating does not yield direct benefits for the subjects, however it may lead to future improvements of care for couples with RPL.
It is a case-control study composed of 3 groups : 2 cases groups (RIF and IRPL) already composed as part of a pre-existing research project and 1 control group including patients undergoing ART for male factor infertility. The purpose of this study is to compare the 2 case group with the control group to identify metabolomics signatures.
