Index pregnancy versus post-index pregnancy in patients with recurrent pregnancy loss.

Objective: To compare pregnancy outcomes of two consecutive pregnancies in a cohort of women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), in order to determine the long-term prognosis of women with RPL managed in a dedicated RPL clinic.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study including 262 patients with two or more consecutive pregnancy losses followed by two subsequent pregnancies--index pregnancy (IP) and post-index pregnancy (PIP). All patients were evaluated and treated in the RPL clinic in the Soroka University Medical Center.

Effect of interpregnancy interval on outcomes of pregnancy after recurrent pregnancy loss.

Objective: To examine the effect of interpregnancy interval (IPI) on outcomes of pregnancy after recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL).

Methods: A retrospective cohort study including 325 patients treated at a RPL clinic, with two or more consecutive pregnancy losses followed by a subsequent (index) pregnancy, of whom 163 had IPI ≤ 6 months, and 212 had IPI > 6 months.

Results: Pregnancy loss rate in the index pregnancy was positively associated with increased IPI (18.

Primary vs. secondary recurrent pregnancy loss--epidemiological characteristics, etiology, and next pregnancy outcome.

Objective: To compare epidemiological and obstetric characteristics, etiology and next pregnancy outcomes of women with primary vs. secondary recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL).

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study, including 420 patients with two or more consecutive pregnancy losses followed by a subsequent (index) pregnancy, of whom 162 were primary RPL women and 258 were secondary RPL women.

Two vs. three or more primary recurrent pregnancy losses--are there any differences in epidemiologic characteristics and index pregnancy outcome?

Objective: To compare obstetric characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of patients following two vs. three or more primary recurrent pregnancy losses (RPL).

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study including 168 patients with primary RPL followed by subsequent (index) pregnancy, 124 patients with three or more consecutive RPL, and 60 patients with two consecutive RPL was performed.
