Objective: To evaluate the implementation of low-dose aspirin in pregnancy for the prevention of utero-placental complications among gynecologists in the Netherlands between 2016 and 2021. In this timeframe, a national guideline about aspirin in pregnancy was introduced by the Dutch Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Materials And Methods: A national online survey among Dutch gynecologists and residents was performed.
Article Synopsis
- Aspirin is known to lower the risk of recurrent hypertensive disorders and fetal growth restrictions in high-risk pregnancies, prompting a study on adherence rates.
- The study surveyed women between 24 and 36 weeks gestation using validated questionnaires, revealing non-adherence rates of 46.3% and 21.4% based on different measures.
- No significant differences in demographics or pregnancy backgrounds were found between women who adhered to aspirin and those who did not, indicating that adherence cannot be assumed in this group.
