Abstract
Purpose of review: To review contemporary evidence regarding optimal aspirin dosing for prevention of preeclampsia, focusing on dose-response relationships, timing of initiation, and phenotype-specific prophylaxis.
Recent findings: Recent trials and meta-analyses have produced conflicting findings regarding whether higher-dose aspirin (100-162 mg daily) provides greater protection against preeclampsia than conventional 75-81 mg regimens. Benefit appears greatest in placental-risk phenotypes and select high-risk populations, including patients with obesity, multifetal gestation, chronic hypertension, diabetes, and multiple concurrent risk factors. Pharmacokinetic studies indicate altered aspirin metabolism and reduced platelet inhibition during pregnancy, supporting biologic plausibility for higher-dose strategies. However, pragmatic real-world studies remain mixed, and definitive recommendations are lacking. Aspirin efficacy is phenotype-dependent, and optimal dosing likely varies according to placental biology, pharmacokinetics, and baseline risk. Emerging evidence supports individualized prophylaxis emphasizing early initiation and consideration of higher-dose aspirin in select high-risk populations.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of hypertension.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as antihypertensive therapies, associated metabolic disorders, and therapeutic trials. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
