Unchanged prevalence of preeclampsia after implementation of prophylactic aspirin for all pregnant women with preexisting diabetes: A prospective cohort study
Diabetes Care Aug 20, 2021
Do NC, Vestgaard M, Ásbjörnsdóttir B, et al. - In this cohort study, no reduction in the prevalence of preeclampsia was observed in correlation with implementation of prophylactic aspirin for all pregnant women with diabetes compared with the previous risk-based prophylaxis.
This prospective observational cohort study included 410 consecutive pregnant women with preexisting diabetes.
Of these women, 207 women were included after implementation of prophylactic aspirin for all pregnant women with preexisting diabetes (all-cohort) and 203 women were included prior to the implementation, where aspirin prophylaxis was risk based and only prescribed to selected women (selected-cohort).
88% (all-cohort) vs 25% (selected-cohort) received aspirin at ∼10 gestational weeks.
The two cohorts showed similar prevalence of preeclampsia, and this was also the case with stratification for diabetes type.
The two cohorts had similar prevalence of preterm delivery < 37 weeks, preterm preeclampsia, and infants large and small for gestational age.
