Prevention of preeclampsia recurrence with low dose aspirin during pregnancy / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of low-dose aspirin in the prevention of preeclampsia recurrence during pregnancy.Methods:Thirty-six women in the first trimester of pregnancy who received examination in Hangzhou Women's Hospital from January 2018 to June 2019 were included in this study. All included women had a history of preeclampsia or severe preeclampsia and met the indications of oral aspirin. They were randomly divided into A ( n = 14) and B ( n = 22) groups. An additional 51 pregnant women who had no history of preeclampsia or severe preeclampsia were included in the control group. The A group was given oral aspirin 50-100 mg/d starting from the second trimester of pregnancy. The other two groups were not given oral aspirin at the same time. Pregnancy outcomes (including delivery weeks, cesarean delivery, placental abruption, preeclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage and gestational hypertension) and urine protein were compared between groups. Neonatal outcomes in different groups were analyzed. Results:The incidence of eclampsia in B group was [40.91% (9/22)], which was significantly higher than [7.14% (1/14)] in A group and [0.00% (0/51)] in control group ( χ2 = 9.872, 12.031, both P < 0.05). The cesarean delivery rate in B group was [22.73% (5/22)], which was significantly higher than 7.14% (1/14) in A group and 5.88% (3/51) in control group ( χ2 = 8.072, 10.810, both P < 0.05). Delivery weeks in A and control groups were (42.78 ± 1.32) weeks and (43.14 ± 1.17) weeks, respectively, which were significantly longer than (35.08 ± 2.03) weeks in group B ( F = 13.765, P < 0.05). The amount of blood loss in A and control groups was (217.62 ± 19.85) mL and (211.37 ± 18.56) mL, respectively, which was significantly less than (233.05 ± 22.37) mL in B group ( F = 18.873, P < 0.05). The Apgar score of newborns in B group was (6.03 ± 0.54) points, which was significantly lower than (9.58 ± 0.86) points in A group and (9.73 ± 0.85) points in control group ( F = 9.037, P < 0.05). The incidence of intrauterine growth restriction [7.14% (1/14), 5.88% (3/51)] and the incidence of preterm birth [7.14% (1/14), 5.88% (3/51)] in A and control groups were significantly lower than those in B group [22.73% (1/22), 15.00% (3/22), χ2 = 10.651, 14.040, 11.715, 13.602, all P < 0.05]. There were no significant differences in the incidence of neonatal death and hemorrhagic diseases among the three groups ( χ2 = 2.020, 3.606, both P > 0.05). Conclusion:Aspirin enteric coated tablets 50-100 mg/d per day for management of pregnant women at a high risk for preeclampsia at 12 weeks of gestation can decrease the incidence of preeclampsia to a certain extent, which is worthy of clinical application.
