    In this review preliminary data on the follow-up of 141 babies born to mothers with antiphospholipid syndrome are reported. In spite of maternal treatment, the rate of both preterm delivery and low birth weight were 16 and 17%, respectively. At birth, no clinical evidence of perinatal thrombosis was observed. Placental transfer of antiphospholipid antibodies occurred in 20, 25 and 43% of cases for lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin and anti-\u3b22-glycoprotein I antibodies, respectively. At 24 months of follow-up, four children showed behaviour abnormalities suggesting the possible need for long-term neurological evaluation in this clinical setting

    The registry is an European, multicentre, prospective and longitudinal study which follows a cohort of children born to mothers with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). In this article we report preliminary results obtained from 138 mothers and 141 babies (three twin pregnancies). At birth, 16.3% of neonates were less than 37 weeks of gestation and 17% were low birth weight; in addition, 11.3% of neonates were small for gestational age. No cases of neonatal thrombosis were observed. During follow-up period five children showed behavioral abnormalities. A long term clinical follow-up will be necessary to evaluate the neuropsychological development of these children
