Abstract
The article presents data on the study of pathogenetic mechanisms of preterm birth in antiphospholipid syndrome. We prospectively examined 112 pregnant women with 22-36 weeks of gestation, whose gestational period was complicated by spontaneous preterm labor (main group). Of the 112 women, 47 (42%) were admitted to the hospital with the onset of preterm labor. The remaining 65 (58%) patients were treated in the department of pathology of pregnant women for the threat of miscarriage and, despite the treatment, they had a premature birth after a different period of time. The comparison was made with 30 "healthy" women with a physiological course of pregnancy and completed term labor (control group).
