RESUMO

Introduction: The spontaneous preterm birth is a multifactorial disease and its etiology remains unknown in 40% of the time. In this study, we investigated the acquired and inherited thrombophilias in high risk pregnant patients to the spontaneous preterm birth and related to the incidence of prematurity in the current pregnancy. Methods: In this prospective study realized from July of 2004 to September of 2006 was evaluated 66 pregnant women with previous spontaneous preterm birth and 66 pregnant women without complications, with at least one previous term birth. Until 25 weeks of pregnancy, was realized single collection of the following laboratorial tests: IgG/IgM anticardiolipin, lupus anticoagulant, factor V Leiden, prothrombin mutation and homocystein. It was excluded three pregnant women due to miscarriage, two for cervical incompetence, two for fetal malformation, and one for inadequated collection of exams. In this way, we evaluated 64 high risk pregnant women and 60 with no complications (control group). Results: The frequency of spontaneous preterm birth was significantly higher in the high risk group (RR=7,97; IC95%=1,92-33,04, p<0,05). There was neither differences in the birth type nor in the average weight in newborn infants between the groups. Among to the patients with risk of preterm birth in the current pregnancy, the acquired and inherited thrombophilias were more frequent (OR=3,2; IC95%=1,4-7,5, p<0,05). The acquired thrombophilias, when analysed in separately, were more frequents in the risk group (OR=3,0; IC95%=1,1-7,7, p<0,05), like it was observed more frequency of IgG anticardiolipin in low titles (OR=2,8; IC95%=1,0-7,5, p<0,05) and IgM anticardiolipin in intermediary or high titles (OR=3,9; IC95%=1,0-15,1, p<0,05). The lupus anticoagulant and the inherited thrombophilias when analysed separately were not different among groups. In spontaneous preterm birth cases in the current pregnancy, 79% had some altered thrombophilia test. In univariated analysis, the existence of thrombophilias increased the risk for spontaneous preterm birth (OR=4,5; IC95%=1,4-14,4, p<0,05). In multivariated analysis, however, the previous spontaneous preterm birth was 11 times more associated with current spontaneous preterm birth. Conclusions: We conclude that the acquired and inherited thrombophilias were more frequent in high risk group, being more prevalent the acquired ones, of which IgG anticardiolipin and IgM anticardiolipin were more frequently founded. There was increased risk for spontaneous preterm birth in women with acquired and inherited thrombophilias but the previous preterm birth remained the major risk factor related to the spontaneous preterm birth.
