Patients were divided into two groups: SCH group (n=40) and non-SCH group (n=69). Baseline data, laboratory indicators (anti-β 2GP I, lupus anticoagulant, ACL, D-D, AA, ADP, ATIII, PS, and PC), complications, and pregnancy outcomes were compared between the groups.Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups concerning the abortion rate, live birth rate (all P> 0.05). However, we reported a significantly higher rate of preterm delivery occurring between 34– 37 in the SCH group (13.7% vs 1.7%, P=0.027). The proportion of patients with triple-positive antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) was significantly higher in the SCH group compared to the non-SCH group (7.5% vs 0.0%, P=0.047). During pregnancy but before routine first-trimester therapy was initiated, the levels of β 2GP I, LA, ACL, D-D, AA, and ADP in the SCH group were higher than those in the non-SCH group, while ATIII, PS, and PC levels were lower (all P < 0.05). After treatment, the levels of β 2GP I, LA, ACL, D-D, AA, and ADP decreased in both groups compared to their pre-treatment levels (all P < 0.05); however, the levels of D-D and PS in the SCH group remained higher than those in the non-SCH group (all P < 0.05).Conclusion: In patients with OAPS who present with SCH during pregnancy, laboratory indicators suggest more severe immune disorders and coagulopathy, as well as an increased risk of preterm delivery.Keywords: obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome, subchorionic hematoma, anticoagulant therapy, preterm delivery |
