Comparison of Two Preventive Treatments for Patients With Recurrent Miscarriages Carrying a C677T Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Mutation: 5-year Experience
Comparison of Two Preventive Treatments for Patients With Recurrent Miscarriages Carrying a C677T Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Mutation: 5-year Experience
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).
Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is defined as three or more consecutive spontaneous fetal losses and it affects 0.3% to 1% of pregnancies.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.
