Diagnostik und Therapie von Frauen mit wiederholten Spontanaborten. Leitlinie der DGGG, OEGGG und SGGG (S2k-Niveau, AWMF-Registernummer 015/050)

Zusammenfassung

Ziel Offizielle Leitlinie der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe (DGGG), der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe (ÖGGG) und der Schweizerischen Gesellschaft für Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe (SGGG). Ziel der Leitlinie ist es, die Diagnostik und Therapie des wiederholten Spontanaborts (WSA) anhand der aktuellen Literatur sowie der Erfahrung der Mitglieder der Leitlinienkommission evidenzbasiert zu standardisieren.

Methoden Anhand der internationalen Literatur entwickelten die Mitglieder der beteiligten Fachgesellschaften in einem formellen Prozess einen Konsensus. Empfehlungen und Statements der Leitlinie wurden in einem formalen Prozess (DELPHI-Prozess, Konsenstreffen mit moderiertem Abstimmungsprozess) erarbeitet und konsentiert.

Empfehlungen Es wurden Empfehlungen zur Diagnostik und Therapie von Paaren mit WSA anhand der internationalen Literatur erarbeitet. Insbesondere wurde auf die bekannten Risikofaktoren wie chromosomale, anatomische, endokrinologische, gerinnungsphysiologische, psychologische, infektiologische und immunologische Störungen eingegangen.
