摘要：

Several laboratories currently offer panels of serum autoantibody assays to screen women with unexplained infertility and those undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). Offering these tests implies that they have predictive value for the outcome of proposed infertility treatments such that the results of the testing would alter clinical management. Because screening for antiphospholipid antibodies adds expense to already costly procedures, it is an appropriate time to review the justification for the use of these panels.
