How telehealth can work best for our patients.

A hybrid model of care embracing office visits and remote consultations may provide the benefits and curtail the disadvantages of both.

Clinical inquiries. What treatments prevent miscarriage after recurrent pregnancy loss?

Progesterone produces a small but significant decrease in miscarriage among pregnant women with 3 or more unexplained pregnancy losses (strength of recommendation [SOR]: A, based on a meta-analysis of 3 small randomized controlled trials [RCTs] with wide confidence intervals). Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) reduces the rate of recurrent pregnancy loss among women with 2 or more unexplained pregnancy losses (SOR: B, based on a meta-analysis of 4 RCTs with significant methodologic weaknesses). Four types of immunotherapy are ineffective for preventing miscarriage (SOR: A, based on RCTs and systematic reviews of RCTs). Aspirin therapy is ineffective for preventing recurrent miscarriage for women who do not have an autoimmune explanation for previous pregnancy losses (SOR: A, based on RCTs).
