The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of low doses of aspirin for the prevention of preeclampsia in women at risk with high long-term blood pressure variability.
Material and methods. The work is based on the results of a survey of 97 women who were at risk for the development of preeclampsia (PE). The participants were divided into groups according to long-term blood pressure variability (BP) and the ability to take low-dose aspirin to prevent the development of PE. During the observation, an assessment of pregnancy outcomes for the mother and the newborn was made, as well as the dynamics of blood pressure variability during the use of aspirin.
Results. The incidence of PE in pregnant women with high BP variability was 48%. The use of low doses of aspirin in pregnant women with high BP variability led to a decrease in the frequency of PE by 5.8 times: from 48 to 8.3% (p‹0.05). At the same time, a decrease in blood pressure variability was noted against the background of aspirin prophylaxis. Also, positive impact on the outcomes of pregnancy and childbirth for newborns was revealed.
Conclusions. Taking aspirin at a dosage of 75 mg/day from 14 to 36 weeks of pregnancy is an effective measure for the prevention of preeclampsia in women with a high risk of its development and high long-term variability of blood pressure.
Key words: blood pressure variability, preeclampsia, aspirin.
