Thrombophilia prevalence among women with placenta-mediated pregnancy complications

Conclusion The incidence of thrombophilia was higher in patients with PMPC than in the general population. A positive thrombophilia diagnosis in a patient with PMPC can have significant clinical consequences for future pregnancies. It can also instigate thrombophilia testing among a patient's family members if necessary. Owing to these advantages, continued thrombophilia testing in these patients seems appropriate.
