Low-dose aspirin linked to lower chance of recurrent preterm birth
A population-based observational study adds to the evidence for a possible benefit
Low-dose aspirin could be an effective prophylaxis for recurrent preterm birth, with new research suggesting it may cut the risk of spontaneous birth before 37 weeks’ gestation by almost a third.
Swedish doctors say the protection afforded in this setting is similar to the preventive effect of low-dose aspirin on the development of pre-eclampsia in high-risk women.
