ABSTRACT
In a prospective randomised clinical study 50 primi or multigravidae with history of essential hypertension or pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) in previous pregnancy were selected from antenatal clinics, on the basis of positive roll over test (ROT) carried out between 28 to 30 weeks of pregnancy. The study group comprised 25 women who received 50 mg aspirin daily from day of positive ROT till 37 weeks of pregnancy. Other 25 women served as control. The incidence of PIH in study and control group was 4% versus 28% and that of pre-term birth was 4% versus 24%. The mean birth weight of newborns in the two groups was 3.04 +/- 0.38 kg and 2.71 +/- 0.48 kg respectively. All these differences were statistically significant. No adverse maternal or neonatal complication due to aspirin was observed.
