Oral Progestogens for Prevention of Miscarriage
In this double-blind, randomized clinical trial, 406 pregnant women were randomized to dydrogesterone or placebo. There were no statistically significant differences in the primary outcome (miscarriage before 20 weeks of gestation; relative risk, 0.897; 95% confidence interval, 0.548-1.467; P = 0.772), which occurred in 12.8% and 14.3% in the dydrogesterone and placebo arms, respectively. The use of dydrogesterone in women with threatened miscarriage for the prevention of early pregnancy loss in the first trimester failed to decrease the miscarriage rate or increase the live birth rate.
