    Recurrent pregnancy loss is often caused by multiple factors, not just one. An integrated diagnostic and therapeutic approach is crucial for successful pregnancies in affected couples.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Genetics
    • Immunology

    Context:

    • Recurrent pregnancy loss (P.F.R.) presents a significant challenge for couples and clinicians.
    • Identifying causative factors is essential for effective management.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate 39 couples experiencing P.F.R. to determine factor responsibility.
    • To establish a successful pregnancy with a viable product as the primary success metric.

    Summary:

    • A comprehensive evaluation protocol was employed, including clinical history, imaging, chromosomal analysis, serological tests (TORCH, antiphospholipid antibodies), endocrine assessments, genital cultures, and endometrial biopsy.
    • Results indicated that 23% of P.F.R. cases were attributable to a single factor, 64.2% to multiple factors, and 12.8% had no apparent cause.

  • Infectious, endocrine, anatomical, and autoimmune factors were identified as the most frequent contributors.

    • Impact:

    • Successful pregnancy with a viable product was achieved in 82% of cases following an integrated diagnostic-therapeutic strategy.
    • This study underscores the multifactorial nature of P.F.R. and highlights the need for a holistic approach to diagnosis and treatment.
