Low-dose aspirin urged to close preeclampsia prevention gap
Original: Closing the preeclampsia prevention gap with low-dose aspirin
The American Medical Association is highlighting that many at-risk pregnant women are not receiving low-dose aspirin, a cheap and proven intervention that can reduce the risk of preeclampsia, a dangerous pregnancy complication marked by high blood pressure. The group is calling on clinicians to better identify eligible patients and prescribe aspirin preventively, arguing wider use could prevent serious maternal and fetal complications.
Why now: A leading medical body is pushing for wider preventive use of aspirin in pregnancy, prompting discussion of why at-risk women are still missing out.
