 Results: The mean serum angiopoietin -1 level is significantly decrease in missed abortion compare with control group women (771.12 ± 165 VS 1381.12 ± 340.36) respectively at P value (0.001). There was correlation between missed abortion and (body mass index, reproductive history) in groups of study.
