Recurrent pregnancy loss and thrombophilia in women with PCOS

摘要

In this issue Kazerooni and colleagues have authored an interesting article entitled “Correlation between thrombophilia and recurrent pregnancy loss in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): A comparative study”.1 Based on the absence or presence of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the authors have tried to determine the association of thrombophilia and RPL in patients with and without PCOS, using a case-controlled comparative study, and separating the subjects into four groups.1 This study attempted to shed light on two medically challenging areas in obstetrics and gynecology—RPL and PCOS—the etiology of both of which is still uncertain.
