Aim To analyse the prevalence and effects of inherited thrombophilic disorders (ITD) on maternal–foetal outcomes in cases of antiphospholipid antibody related to obstetric complications. Methods Women with obstetric complaints who tested positive for aPL and with inherited thrombophilia were prospectively and retrospectively included. Results ITD data were available in 208 of 338: 147 had obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome (OAPS) and 61 aPL‐related obstetric morbidity (OMAPS). 24.1% had ITD. Laboratory categories I and IIa were more related to OAPS‐ITD and IIb and IIc to OMAPS‐ITD. No significant differences in obstetric complaints were observed. Regarding ITD carriers, treatment rates were higher in OAPS than in OMAPS for LMWH and LDA plus LMWH ( P =.002). Conclusion Cases with aPL‐related OAPS/OMAPS showed no differences in maternal–foetal outcomes regardless of the presence of one ITD. Maternal thrombotic risk was low, with ITD‐positive cases included. Registry data concur with Sydney criteria, whereby aPL‐ITD‐positive patients are classified as having antiphospholipid syndrome.
