## Summary

**Make antiphospholipid syndrome testing a standard part of prenatal screening.** This resolution would push for routine blood testing for antiphospholipid syndrome and call on medical guideline bodies to change their recommendations so testing happens earlier in pregnancy. - Pregnant people: Would increase early detection of APS, which is linked to about 15% of recurrent pregnancy losses. APS can be detected by a blood test and is often treatable with blood thinners. - Families: Could reduce miscarriages, stillbirths, and the grief those losses cause by finding and treating APS sooner. - Medical guideline bodies: Would be urged to replace current guidance that limits APS testing to cases after an unexplained fetal loss after 10 weeks or after three or more unexplained embryonic losses.

## Provisions PRIA read

- More prenatal testing for antiphospholipid syndrome: benefit, low. If adopted, this resolution would support routine prenatal testing for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). It would call on medical societies and guideline bodies to add APS testing to standard prenatal screening. The resolution is non-binding and would not itself change federal law or insurance rules…
