Abstract
c values exceeding 95th percentile of the control population (145IU/dL), as compared to 3% in the control group (p=0.001). Mean FVIII level in control subjects was 118±14.0IUdL(-), compared with 127.7±31.2IUdL(-) in the patient group (p=0.009). Apart from FVIII, only the anti-phospholipid antibodies showed a statistically significant association with APCR phenotype (p=0.028), unlike other thrombophilic factors such as Protein C, Protein S, FV levels, HR2 haplotype or other rarer FV variants. The strong positive association of FVL mutation, anti-phospholipid antibodies and elevated FVIII levels with APCR phenotype calls for incorporating them as first line investigations in patients with recurrent spontaneous miscarriages with APCR positivity.
