Analysis of the cause of recurrent pregnancy loss in Vietnam: A cross-sectional study

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a physical and mental burden for women. In Vietnam, exploring the cause of miscarriages is still a challenge to clinical physicians. We aimed to investigate the etiology of RPL in the National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Vietnam from 2012 to 2014. The cross-sectional study included 301 pregnant women with a history of RPL. The patients were examined and offered medical testing to determine the cause(s). Based on the testing, we determined causation for (11.29%) patients who had positive scores on an antiphospholipid antibody test and who were subsequently successfully treated for their problem.
