Aspirin can prevent Miscarriages
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Recurrent miscarriages are post implantation failures in natural conception; they are also termed as habitual abortions or recurrent pregnancy losses. Recurrent pregnancy loss is disheartening to the couple and to the treating clinician. There has been a wide range of research from aetiology to management of recurrent pregnancy loss. It is one of the most debated topics among clinicians and academics. The ideal management is unanswered. This review is aimed to produce an evidence-based guidance on clinical management of recurrent miscarriage. The review is structured to be clinically relevant. The aim of this study was to assess the value of low dose aspirin (100 mg daily) in improving the subsequent live birth rate amongst women with either unexplained recurrent early miscarriage (<13 weeks gestation) or unexplained late pregnancy loss (n = 39). Amongst women with recurrent early miscarriages, there was no significant difference in the live birth rate between those who took aspirin (39/38; >88% compared with those who did not take aspirin. This relationship was independent of the number of previous early miscarriages. In contrast, women with a previous late miscarriage who took aspirin had a significantly higher live birth rate (30/44; 64.6%) compared with those who did not take aspirin (30/61; 49.2%: OR 1.88; 95% CI 1.04–3.37). The empirical use of low dose aspirin amongst women with unexplained recurrent early miscarriage is not justified. We are currently investigating the role of incremental doses of aspirin in the treatment of women both with early miscarriages associated with thrombophilic abnormalities and in those with late pregnancy losses. Recurrent miscarriages are post implantation failures in natural conception; they are also termed as habitual abortions or recurrent pregnancy losses. Recurrent pregnancy loss is disheartening to the couple and to the treating clinician. There has been a wide range of research from aetiology to management of recurrent pregnancy loss. It is one of the most debated topics among clinicians and academics. The ideal management is unanswered. This review is aimed to produce an evidence-based guidance on clinical management of recurrent miscarriage. The review is structured to be clinically relevant.
