Anticardiolipin antibody in recurrent spontaneous aborting and fertile women
Get PDFOBJECTIVE: To determine the association between the presence of anticardiolipin antibody and a history of recurrent spontaneous abortion. STUDY DESIGN: clinical controlled study LOCATION: Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics - University of Campinas (UNICAMP) SUBJECTS: 52 individuals with recurrent spontaneous abortion were included in Group 1 and 104 individuals with at least one live born child in Group 2. Elapsed time from last delivery to blood sampling varied from six months to two years. METHOD: Between November 1993 and November 1994, patients' blood samples were screened for anticardiolipin antibody by ELISA, as described by Triplett, Barna and Unger (1993). ANALYSIS: Chi-square and Fisher's Exact tests were used for statistical analysis. Student's t test was used to compare the means. RESULTS: There was no statistical difference in the presence of the anticardiolipin antibody between Group I (zero and 2.9%) and Group 2 (7.7 and 5.8%). CONCLUSION: There was no association between the presence of anticardiolipin antibody and recurrent spontaneous abortion.OBJETIVO: Determinar a associação entre a presença do anticorpo anticardiolipina e o antecedente de aborto espontâneo recorrente. TIPO DE ESTUDO: Estudo clÃnico-controlado. LOCAL: Departamento de Tocoginecologia da Faculdade de Ciências Médicas da UNICAMP. PARTICIPANTES: No grupo 1 foram incluÃdas 52 pacientes que apresentavam antecedente de aborto espontâneo recorrente e, no grupo 2, 104 pacientes com antecedente de pelo menos uma gestação bem sucedida. O prazo máximo entre o último parto e a data da coleta de sangue foi de dois anos; o mÃnimo foi de seis meses. INTERVENÇÃO: Entre novembro de 1993 e novembro de 1994 as pacientes foram submetidas à pesquisa sérica do anticorpo anticardiolipina por ELISA, segundo técnica descrita por TRIPLETT, BARNA, UNGER (1993). MENSURAÇÃO: Os resultados foram analisados através dos testes Qui-Quadrado, Exato de Fisher e t de Student. RESULTADOS: Não foi encontrada diferença estatisticamente significativa na freqüência do anticorpo anticardiolipina entre os grupos I e II para IgM (zero e 2,9%) e IgG (7,7 e 5,8%). CONCLUSÕES: Não foi encontrada associação entre a presença do anticorpo anticardiolipina e o antecedente de aborto recorrente.1760176
