Aim: To evaluate the characteristics of periventricular hemorrhages (PVH) in newborns of mothers receiving antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy during pregnancy with hypercoagulation syndrome.
Material And Methods: One hundred and twelve newborns with PVH were evaluated: group 1 - 37 children, born after a pregnancy with hypercoagulation syndrome and antithrombotic therapy; group 2 - 55 children, born after a pregnancy without hypercoagulation syndrome and with preventive antithrombotic therapy; group 3 - 20 children, born after a pregnancy without hypercoagulation syndrome and without antithrombotic therapy. All newborns underwent clinical and neurologic examinations combined with assessment using special scales and intracranial ultrasound evaluation.
Results And Conclusion: Maternal anticoagulation therapy during pregnancy in groups I and 2 was associated with more severe condition of newborns with PVH (significantly prolonged artificial lung ventilation, more premature births, larger hemorrhage) compared to newborns in group 3. Follow-up of infants in groups I and 2 demonstrated a significantly slower progress of postural muscle tone, psychological and psychomotor development compared to infants in group 3. Hypercoagulation syndrome treatment during pregnancy significantly affects the severity of newborn's condition at birth and the development of severe neurological impairments in long-term period.

The role of D-dimer changes in predicting delivery time in preterm premature rupture of membranes: a retrospective analysis.

Introduction: Pregnancy induces a hypercoagulable state, characterized by increased coagulation factors and decreased anticoagulants, alongside ongoing fibrinolysis marked by elevated D-dimer (DD) levels. Reference values for DD in pregnancy often exceed the non-pregnant cutoff due to these changes. Elevated DD levels are common in late pregnancy and may correlate with complications such as gestational diabetes, hypertension, and preterm delivery, particularly in cases of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM).

Key Content: •Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) during pregnancy or the postpartum period is a rare but potentially lethal event.•Physiological changes in the coagulation system during pregnancy and puerperium would lead to a hypercoagulable state.•Diagnosis of PE in pregnancy remains a challenge due to physiological changes in pregnancy.

Background: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) often stems from a hypercoagulable state that exacerbates conditions such as antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and thrombophilia, leading to early placental issues. Although treatments such as low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) and low-dose aspirin (LDA) are used, outcomes vary. This study proposes using first-trimester Doppler ultrasound - specifically, uterine radial artery resistance index (URa-RI) at 8 weeks and uterine artery pulsatility index (Ut-PI) with pre-diastolic notching (Ut-notch) at 11-13 weeks - to better predict successful pregnancies and reduce risks of adverse outcomes.

Background: Despite the morbidity and mortality of venous thromboembolism, there is little evidence to guide postpartum thromboprophylaxis in patients at moderate risk. We aimed to assess the feasibility of conducting a double-blind, randomised trial of aspirin versus placebo in postpartum individuals with two or more venous thromboembolism risk factors, mild-to-moderate thrombophilia, or both.
Methods: The pilot PARTUM trial, a multi-national, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, was conducted in seven centres across Canada, France, Ireland, and the Netherlands.
Impact of low-dose aspirin therapy initiation timing on pregnancy outcomes after frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer.

Clinical effects of low-dose aspirin (LDA) on embryo implantation still remains controversial; therefore, we investigated the appropriate timing for starting LDA in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (ET) cycles. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 885 infertile women who underwent thrombophilia screening between 2020 and 2023. We recruited first frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer cycles in 553 consecutive women aged < 40 years.
