Abstract
Low-dose aspirin is an established preventive strategy for reducing risk of preeclampsia in patients with designated risk factors. This prospective observational study evaluated trends in aspirin prescription rates in a multi-hospital health system over a 10-month period during which a policy to offer low dose aspirin universally was instituted. 11,382 patients were included and interrupted time series was used to analyze rates of aspirin prescriptions ordered by 16w0d before and after implementation of the universal policy. There were statistically significant increases in aspirin prescription rates for the entire cohort (incidence rate ratio [IRR] of 2.93, 95% CI 2.13-4.04) and for a high-risk sub-cohort including patients with chronic hypertension, pre-gestational diabetes, and/or multiple gestation (IRR 1.48, 95% CI 1.26-1.76).
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Perinatology is an international, peer-reviewed, and indexed journal publishing 14 issues a year dealing with original research and topical reviews. It is the definitive forum for specialists in obstetrics, neonatology, perinatology, and maternal/fetal medicine, with emphasis on bridging the different fields.
The focus is primarily on clinical and translational research, clinical and technical advances in diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment as well as evidence-based reviews. Topics of interest include epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention, and management of maternal, fetal, and neonatal diseases. Manuscripts on new technology, NICU set-ups, and nursing topics are published to provide a broad survey of important issues in this field.
All articles undergo rigorous peer review, with web-based submission, expedited turn-around, and availability of electronic publication.
The American Journal of Perinatology is accompanied by AJP Reports - an Open Access journal for case reports in neonatology and maternal/fetal medicine.
