Abstract
Background Antiphospholipid antibodies (APLAs) have been associated with pregnancy loss and other obstetric complications, such as pre-eclampsia, fetal growth restriction and preterm delivery.
Objectives The purpose of this work is to evaluate maternal and fetal pregnancy outcome in Primary Antiphospholipid Syndrome (PAPS).
Methods We retrospectively studied PAPS patients according to Sydney Criteria who are attended to Materno Neonatal Hospital during the last 8 years. We evaluated demographic, obstetric and thrombotic clinical data. Maternal complications were evaluated: Preeclampsia, HELLP, Gestational Diabetes, Premature rupture of fetal membranes, arterial and venous thrombosis, mortality, the way of end of pregnancy, and others. Fetal outcome was evaluated as live birth, gestational age and weight at birth.
Results 96 pregnancies in 68 patients were included. Maternal mean age was 30,75 years old, 84% were from Cόrdoba city, 70.5% did not have health insurance, and they have mean previous pregnancies of 4 with 1 live birth. Maternal complications were: Pre eclampsia in 12 patients (12.5%), Preterm delivery in 6 patients (6.25%), Premature rupture of fetal membranes in 8 (8.33%), Gestational Diabetes in 7 (7.29%), Arterial Thrombosis in 2 (2.08%), Venous thrombosis in 3 (3.12%). 33,69% have normal labour and 66,33% cesarean section. 86% of patients have live birth with mean gestational age of 36 weeks with mean weight at birth of 2.558 g and 73% of patients according to gestational age.
Conclusions PAPS pregnancies patients had a good maternal and fetal outcome in this study.
