Placental disorders were the major cause for IUFD in patients who were referred to internal medicine specialists. Importantly, APS was seldom found in patients with placental disorders. Venous thromboembolism history and placental infarcts were both significantly associated with APS. Further studies are needed in order to deepen our understanding of the physiopathology of placental disorders and its underlying causes among non-APS women, and to determine the best treatment regimen for future pregnancies.
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.
