Adherence to Universal Aspirin Compared to Screening Indicated Aspirin for Prevention of Preeclampsia

NCT04797949 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There are data showing that a majority of pregnant women may not be accurately identified as high risk through screening and therefore, not receiving prophylactic low dose aspirin as recommended. This leads to missing many patients who would benefit from aspirin administration. Aspirin is an effective, affordable and safe intervention and its universal use in pregnancy has been proposed as the answer to help mitigate risk of significant morbidity from preeclampsia. However, adherence to aspirin in women at low risk compared to those deemed at high risk of preeclampsia has never been studied. One of the arguments against universal aspirin administration is the concern that universal receipt would change the compliance in those at high risk although there are no data to support this concern. To address the lack of data on differences in adherence, our goal in this proposal is to assess whether there is a difference in adherence to low dose aspirin (81 mg) in women at high risk of preeclampsia as indicated by USPSTF risk algorithm when compared to those women randomized to universal use.
