Abstract
Patients with elevated aPL levels at their initial prenatal visit had an increase in fetal loss but no increase in maternal pregnancy complications, low birth weight, or low Apgar scores. Immunoglobulin G anticardiolipin antibody was the only single test of aPL significantly associated with fetal loss.
