Outcomes of threatened abortions after anticoagulation treatment to prevent recurrent pregnancy loss.
We aimed to determine the outcome of threatened abortion in women treated with low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) for recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Data of women with RPL who experienced threatened abortion while taking LMWH between 2007 and 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients received the LMWH, enoxaparin (40 mg). ⋯ For women with threatened abortions, continuation of LMWH indicated to prevent RPL was negatively associated with live birth rates. Therefore, we support its discontinuation in this setting. Among women with APLS, LMWH continuation resulted in a relatively high live birth rate; we advocate against its withdrawal in this subset of patients.
