The aims of this study were to determine the aetiological factors and the pattern of recurrent @entity393 in Kuwait. Ninety consecutive @entity1 attending the special recurrent miscarriage clinic were studied prospectively. A comprehensive history of all previous miscarriages and pregnancies, past medical and gynaecological events were established. A physical examination was performed. Extensive investigations were performed. Pregnancies which occurred during the study were monitored carefully. The mean age of the @entity1 was 30.46+/-6.04 years. The @entity1 were subdivided into the groups of secondary (57%) and primary (43%) recurrent miscarriages. Eighty-five per cent of all previous miscarriages occurred in the first trimester. The main aetiological factors were @entity2008 (parental) 2.2%, PCOS, @entity281 and other miscellaneous factors 21.1%, positive antiphospholipid antibodies 33.3% and unexplained in 35.6%. The overall live birth rate was 82% and maternal morbidity was low. Positive antiphospholipid antibodies are the most frequently associated cause of recurrent @entity393 in Kuwait.
