The cause of recurrent miscarriage is multifactorial and appropriate treatment continues to be a challenge. Laboratory tests need to be standardized and well designed multicentre research trials are essential to expand on the current knowledge base with the aim to produce strong evidence-based medicine.
Chromosomal analysis of a failed pregnancy following the diagnosis of recurrent miscarriage is not standard practice yet an abnormal karyotype is one of the commonest causes. Array comparative genomic hybridization heralds a new and improved era of cytogenetics, which may prevent unnecessary interventions for patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
