Episode notes
We have covered Low Dose Aspirin (LDA) for pre-natal preeclampsia prevention MANY times before. But here's a good clinical question: Since preeclampsia can also pop-up in the first 6 weeks postpartum (pp), should we continue it in the immediate pp interval? There is a new publication, an RCT, in the AJOG that looked to answer this- and we will highlight that publication in this episode. PLUS, we will briefly summarize a separate publication from the American J Perinatology back in 2023 that also provided some clinical insights on this topic. Listen in for details.
