New Spontaneous Abortion Data Have Been Reported by Investigators at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford.

Women’s Health Weekly February 2, 2012 According to the authors of recent research from Stanford, California, “Miscarriage is a relatively common occurrence for otherwise healthy women. Despite its frequency, evaluation for cause is rare.” “The most common cause of miscarriage is sporadic chromosome errors. Chromosomal analysis of the miscarriage offers an explanation in at least 50% of cases. Conventional cytogenetic evaluation can only be done on fresh tissue, so it is critical that the treating physician consider genetic testing at the time of the miscarriage. Ultrasound can estimate the gestational age at the time of miscarriage and identify major abnormalities in some embryos. A careful pathological examination can add to the evaluation by ruling out rare disorders with the highest recurrence risk. A multi-disciplinary approach to miscarriage evaluation is essential to understanding the cause and risk of recurrence,” wrote R.B. Lathi and colleagues, Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford (see also Spontaneous Abortion). in our site lucile packard childrens hospitals this web site lucile packard childrens hospitals

The researchers concluded: “A thorough evaluation of a miscarriage, in combination with emotional support, can often provide the necessary reassurance and confidence as the patient prepares for her next pregnancy.” Lathi and colleagues published their study in Seminars in Reproductive Medicine (First Trimester Miscarriage Evaluation. Seminars in Reproductive Medicine, 2011;29(6):463-469).
