  • Title: Inherited thrombophilias and adverse pregnancy outcomes: a review of screening patterns and recommendations.
    Author: Davenport WB, Kutteh WH.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol Clin North Am; 2014 Mar; 41(1):133-44. PubMed ID: 24491988.
    Abstract:
    Historically, much controversy has existed regarding the association of inherited thrombophilias with adverse pregnancy outcomes. The current guidelines do not recommend screening unless a personal history of venous thromboembolism is present, but the authors' survey of physician screening patterns has suggested that up to 40% of physicians may screen contrary to the current guidelines. This article summarizes the existing evidence for each inherited thrombophilia and reviews the current guidelines.
