Recurrent miscarriage: what do the new guidelines tell us?

Abstract

The S2k guidelines of the German Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (DGGG), the Austrian Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ÖGGG) and the Swiss Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (SGGG) [1] have standardized the diagnostic procedure and treatment of recurrent spontaneous abortion based on the current international literature. The statements and recommendations of the guidelines were developed in a formalized process and by consensus. The recommendations were compiled with specific consideration of known risk factors, such as chromosomal, anatomical, endocrinological, coagulation physiological, infectious and immunological disorders and the current treatment options for patients with recurrent miscarriage.
