Its mechanism - restoration of the thromboxane A2 / prostacyclin balance through platelet cyclo-oxygenase-1 inhibition - accounts for its efficacy in placental vascular disease, and its benefit depends on a dose of 100 to 160 mg, evening intake and, above all, initiation before 16 weeks. The question is no longer whether it works, but in whom, and whether this can be known early enough. Three early identification strategies have been evaluated in turn. Clinical risk factors, used by the historical trials and then by Anglo-Saxon guidelines, are either too restrictive - a history of preeclampsia by construction excludes nulliparous women - or so broad that up to 85% of women would become eligible. First-trimester uterine artery Doppler, a direct reflection of trophoblastic invasion, offered an attractive pathophysiological rationale; the double-blind randomised trials nevertheless proved negative, including the French PERASTUN trial conducted in 1,104 nulliparous women selected on this criterion alone and treated with 160 mg before 16 weeks (16.0% vs 14.4%), Doppler alone lacking specificity and selecting a population with low absolute risk whose preeclampsia is mostly late - precisely where aspirin has no effect. Combined algorithms, associating maternal factors, mean arterial pressure, Doppler and PlGF, perform better: the ASPRE trial reduced preeclampsia before 37 weeks of gestation by 62%, though part of the benefit arose from women already identifiable by their history; the ongoing French RANSPRE trial randomises the screening strategy itself for the first time. This uncertainty about the target population explains the marked heterogeneity of international guidelines and bears directly on safety: while the fetal profile remains reassuring at antiplatelet doses, recent maternal data, including a French nationwide cohort of 5.8 million pregnancies, show an excess of haemorrhagic complications. Defining whom to treat is the condition for preserving a favourable benefit-risk balance.</p>","PeriodicalId":56056,"journal":{"name":"Gynecologie Obstetrique Fertilite & Senologie","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148610254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Physiologically, upright positions and postural changes optimise uterine dynamics through gravity, improve utero-placental perfusion by preventing aorto-caval compression, and take advantage of pelvic mobility which modifies the diameters of the pelvic inlet and outlet by several millimetres. Cochrane systematic reviews suggest that during the first stage of labour, upright positions and ambulation shorten labour duration and reduce the use of epidural analgesia, with moderate-quality evidence limited by methodological heterogeneity and risk of bias. During the second stage, upright positions shorten expulsion in women without epidural; the BUMPES trial and recent meta-analyses by Verastegui-Martín and Pan do not show a major clinical benefit of upright positions under low-dose epidural, although no detrimental effects are identified. According to the 2021 French Perinatal Survey, 82.7% of women received epidural analgesia and 74.2% used PCEA. Despite consistent guidelines, mobilisation remains underused.
