Low-dose aspirin therapy in obstetrics
1Institute of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Erasmus University Medical School, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
The results of four large controlled clinical trials, encompassing over 13,000 pregnant women, indicate that low-dose aspirin is of benefit in the prevention of pre-eclampsia in women at high risk. The preventive effect on fetal growth retardation seems to be small, and no therapeutic benefits could be established. Low-dose aspirin appears to be safe for mother, fetus, and neonate.
