Résumé / Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to determine differences in neonatal outcomes between successful pregnancies conceived immediately after a spontaneous abortion (SAB) and successful pregnancies conceived after two menstrual cycles or at least 100 days from the spontaneous abortion. STUDY DESIGN: This study was a retrospective case series. Deliveries were identified from the University of California-San Francisco Perinatal Database among patients with a history of one SAB. Medical records of 268 patients were reviewed. Sixty-four patients fulfilled study criteria, with 19 in the immediate conception group and 45 in the delayed conception group. Categorical variables were analyzed using X² tests and Fisher exact tests for variables with expected values of <5, whereas continuous variables were analyzed using Student t tests. RESULTS: Neonatal outcomes for the 2 groups were similar, although neonates in the delayed conception group were more likely to have at least one of the following: low birth weight, an Apgar score <7 at 5 minutes, or admission to the neonatal intensive care unit. CONCLUSION: In this small retrospective case series, there was no evidence of adverse neonatal outcomes associated with conception immediately after a SAB.
