dc.description.abstractObjective: The aim of this study was to investigate factors associated with thrombosis that may contribute to recurrent pregnancy loss (habitual abortion), specifically differences in serum levels of platelet-activating factor and thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (carboxypeptidase B2) between women with a history of recurrent miscarriage and those with no recurrent miscarriage history. Materials and methods: A case-controlled, prospective study design was adopted to compare women with a history of two or more first-trimester miscarriages (n = 42) with those with no history of recurrent miscarriage (n = 36). Participants were recruited from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Turgut Ozal University Hospital. Platelet-activating factor and thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor levels in serum samples were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Platelet-activating factor levels were significantly (p = 0.018) higher in the recurrent miscarriage group. There was no difference in levels of thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor expression between the groups. Conclusion: Platelet-activating factor is significantly higher in serum of patients with a history of recurrent miscarriage than in those without such a history, with potential implications for placental function and fetal growth, which could be relevant to miscarriage recurrence. Larger studies are indicated to further examine these findings. Copyright (C) 2016, Taiwan Association of Obstetrics & Gynecology. Published by Elsevier Taiwan LLC.
