A new study indicates that a daily injection of heparin does not improve the chance of a live birth for patients who have previously had two or more miscarriages and confirmed inherited thrombophilia.
Siobhan Quenby, professor of obstetrics at the University of Warwick said:"Patients and doctors will always value knowing about any factor which could be associated with recurrent miscarriage, but the association between inherited thrombophilia and recurrent miscarriage isn't proven: a recent review of research showed that thrombophilia is as common in the general population as it is in patients with recurrent miscarriage.
Some 326 patients with inherited thrombophilia and recurrent miscarriage were split into two groups - 164 received heparin across the course of their pregnancy, starting from as soon as possible after a positive pregnancy test and ending at the start of labour.All participants received standard obstetrician-led care and all were encouraged to take folic acid.
