Prostaglandins appear to mediate the uterine contractions of abortion and labor, and aspirin has been shown to be an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled, prospective, and randomized study, aspirin was administered orally in doses of 600 mg. every 6 hours to patients undergoing induced midtrimester abortions with hyperosmolar urea and oxytocin augmentation. The mean injection-abortion interval was significantly prolonged by aspirin in nulliparous patients (aspirin 32.3 +/- 3.3 hr. vs. placebo 21.5 +/- 3.5 hr.) and no aspirin-treated nullipara aborted in less than 18 hours. There was no significant difference between treatment groups in the mean injection-abortion …

The current report details the serologic findings in a case reported previously of a P1k woman, para 0 gravida 13, who was treated during her fourteenth pregnancy with plasmapheresis to reduce the anti-P titer. These studies suggest that anti-P can induce early abortion in Pk women and that the abortions are immunologically mediated. Further, this case supports the disputed proposal that the anti-P component of anti-PP1Pk is responsible for pregnancy loss in p women.

It has been proposed that the blood group antibody, anti-P, produced by p or Pk individuals may cause abortion early in pregnancy. The authors have studied and successfully treated a Pk woman with anti-P who had 13 consecutive first-trimester miscarriages. Anti-P was implicated as the cause of repeated pregnancy loss after extensive clinical, endocrinologic, immunologic, and chromosomal evaluations. To remove P blood group antibodies, plasmapheresis was begun at five weeks' gestation during the 14th pregnancy with one plasma volume exchange two to three times per week. This therapy resulted in a reduction in the titer of anti-P, and the patient …
