  High blood pressure in the postpartum period is most commonly seen in women with antenatal hypertensive disorders but it can develop de novo in the postpartum timeframe. […] New-onset postpartum preeclampsia is an understudied disease entity with few evidence-based guidelines to guide diagnosis and management. […] The cornerstones of treatment include the use of anti-hypertensive agents, magnesium and diuresis. […] Future research should focus on the pathophysiology and specific risk factors. […] A better understanding is imperative for patient care and counseling, anticipatory guidance prior to hospital discharge and is critically important for reduction of maternal morbidity and mortality in the postpartum period. […] There is a need for improved terminology surrounding immediate postpartum preeclampsia (within the first 48 hours after delivery) and delayed-onset postpartum preeclampsia, which has traditionally been defined as new-onset preeclampsia after 48 hours postpartum through 6 weeks postpartum.

  Low-dose aspirin has been used during pregnancy most commonly to prevent or delay the onset of preeclampsia. The previous recommendation from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM), and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has been for low-dose aspirin (81 mg/d) prophylaxis after 12 weeks of gestation in pregnant individuals at high risk of preeclampsia and suggested low-dose aspirin prophylaxis in pregnant individuals with more than one moderate-risk factor. ACOG and SMFM also have provided more detailed information around timing, recommending that low-dose aspirin be initiated between 12 weeks and 28 weeks of gestation (optimally before 16 weeks) and continued daily until delivery. […] In September 2021, the USPSTF published updated recommendations on aspirin use to prevent preeclampsia and related morbidity and mortality. The primary USPSTF recommendation remains largely unchanged: prescribe low-dose (81 mg/d) aspirin after 12 weeks of gestation to individuals who are at high risk for preeclampsia (Grade B). However, the USPSTF provided updated guidance regarding moderate-risk factors. Specifically, the USPSTF now recommends low-dose aspirin for individuals with more than one moderate-risk factor.

• #6 Preeclampsia: Prevention – UpToDate

  https://www.uptodate.com/contents/preeclampsia-prevention

  Preeclampsia: Prevention […] Since there is no curative treatment other than delivery, an intervention that could prevent preeclampsia would have a significant impact on maternal and neonatal health worldwide. Many different strategies to prevent preeclampsia have been investigated in randomized trials. It is not surprising that most simple approaches have been unsuccessful, given the complexities in pathogenesis and the likelihood that multiple etiologies or pathways result in the clinical syndrome. Low-dose aspirin prophylaxis is the most useful preventive pharmacologic intervention, but the magnitude of benefit is variable and depends on a number of factors. […] This topic will review several interventions that have been evaluated for prevention of preeclampsia.

  Pregnant persons at high risk for preeclampsia The USPSTF recommends the use of low-dose aspirin (81 mg/day) as preventive medication after 12 weeks of gestation in persons who are at high risk for preeclampsia. […] For pregnant persons: Prescribe low-dose (81 mg/d) aspirin after 12 weeks of gestation to persons who are at high risk for preeclampsia. […] The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) concludes with moderate certainty that there is a substantial net benefit of daily low-dose aspirin use to reduce the risk for preeclampsia, preterm birth, small for gestational age/intrauterine growth restriction, and perinatal mortality in pregnant persons at high risk for preeclampsia. […] This recommendation applies to pregnant persons who are at high risk for preeclampsia and who have no prior adverse effects with or contraindications to low-dose aspirin.

• #8 Low-Dose Aspirin Use for the Prevention of Preeclampsia and Related Morbidity and Mortality | ACOG

  https://www.acog.org/clinical/clinical-guidance/practice-advisory/articles/2021/12/low-dose-aspirin-use-for-the-prevention-of-preeclampsia-and-related-morbidity-and-mortality

  When recommended, low-dose aspirin should be initiated between 12 weeks and 28 weeks of gestation (optimally before 16 weeks) and continued daily until delivery. Evidence supports the use of a risk-based approach to determine whether low-dose aspirin should be offered to a pregnant individual. It is therefore imperative that obstetriciangynecologists and other obstetric clinicians implement adequate screening processes to determine the appropriate risk category for a pregnant individual. However, for some institutions and practices, the majority of patients may be at high or moderate risk for preeclampsia and would therefore be candidates for low-dose aspirin prophylaxis. In these instances, universal implementation (eg, offering low-dose aspirin to all patients within such practices or institutions) may be medically reasonable.

  https://www.acog.org/clinical/clinical-guidance/practice-advisory/articles/2021/12/low-dose-aspirin-use-for-the-prevention-of-preeclampsia-and-related-morbidity-and-mortality

  Based on the updated USPSTF guidance and its supporting evidence, ACOG and SMFM are revising their recommendation regarding low-dose aspirin prophylaxis for the prevention of preeclampsia. Low-dose aspirin (81 mg/d) prophylaxis is recommended for pregnant individuals at high risk of preeclampsia with one or more of the following risk factors: History of preeclampsia, especially when accompanied by an adverse outcome; Multifetal gestation; Chronic hypertension; Pregestational type 1 or 2 diabetes; Kidney disease; Autoimmune disease (ie, systemic lupus erythematous, antiphospholipid syndrome); Combinations of multiple moderate-risk factors. […] These risk factors are consistently associated with the greatest risk for preeclampsia. Preeclampsia incidence would likely be at least 8% in a population of pregnant individuals having one of these risk factors. Pregnant individuals with more than one of several moderate risk factors: Nulliparity; Obesity (ie, body mass index 30); Family history of preeclampsia (ie, mother or sister); Black race (as a proxy for underlying racism); Lower income; Age 35 years or older; Personal history factors (eg, low birth weight or small for gestational age, previous adverse pregnancy outcome, 10-year pregnancy interval); In vitro fertilization.

  https://www.acc.org/Latest-in-Cardiology/ten-points-to-remember/2021/09/28/19/45/Aspirin-Use-to-Prevent-Preeclampsia

  Preeclampsia is a complication in approximately 4% of pregnancies in the United States, and accounts for 6% of preterm births and 19% of medically indicated preterm births in the United States. […] Low-dose aspirin reduces the risk of preeclampsia, preterm birth, small for gestational age/intrauterine growth restriction, and perinatal mortality in pregnant persons with risk factors for preeclampsia. […] If one or more of these high-risk factors are present, the USPSTF recommends low-dose aspirin. […] If two or more of these moderate-risk factors are present, the USPSTF recommends low-dose aspirin (may consider low-dose aspirin if one of these risk factors is present). […] The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine recommend low-dose aspirin be initiated between 12 and 28 weeks of gestation (optimally before 16 weeks) and continued daily until delivery.

• #12 Preeclampsia: Toxemia, Causes, Symptoms & Risk Factors

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17952-preeclampsia

  Postpartum preeclampsia is when you develop preeclampsia after your baby is born. It typically happens within two days of giving birth but can also develop several weeks later. […] Taking a baby aspirin daily may decrease your risk of developing preeclampsia by about 15%. If you have risk factors for preeclampsia, your healthcare provider may recommend starting aspirin in early pregnancy (around 12 weeks in pregnancy). Don’t start taking aspirin unless your provider tells you. […] After diagnosis, your healthcare provider will watch your pregnancy closely. In severe cases, they may recommend delivery as soon as possible. Their goal is to keep both you and the fetus safe and healthy. Most people with preeclampsia go on to have healthy babies. Preeclampsia almost always goes away within a few weeks after your baby is born.

• #13 Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy | AAFP

  https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2016/0115/p121.html

  The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that pregnant women at high risk of preeclampsia take low-dose aspirin (81 mg per day) after 12 weeks’ gestation. […] The use of low-dose aspirin (80 mg) has a small to moderate effect on the prevention of preeclampsia (NNT = 72); the effect is greatest (NNT = 19) in women at highest risk of developing preeclampsia. […] The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends low-dose aspirin starting in the late first trimester for women with a previous delivery before 37 weeks’ gestation due to preeclampsia or in more than one previous pregnancy. […] Calcium supplementation may prevent hypertension, preeclampsia, and maternal death in high-risk women with low calcium intake, which is rare in developed countries.

• #14 Ask About Aspirin

  https://www.preeclampsia.org/aspirin

  Low-dose aspirin initiated after 16 weeks’ gestation may not be as effective at reducing the risk of preeclampsia, severe preeclampsia, and fetal growth restriction. […] Yes! Research shows that aspirin is most effective at bedtime when compared to morning, afternoon, and evening dose times. […] Taking low doses of aspirin is not thought to increase the risk of miscarriage. […] Studies on the effects of low-dose aspirin on fetal and maternal health and development are reassuring, and low doses of aspirin administered during the first trimester do not seem to constitute risk for the fetus. […] Others argue, because most preeclampsia occurs after 36 weeks, that the aspirin may be beneficial to continue through delivery, into the postpartum period. […] Yes. Only women at high risk or with multiple moderate risk factors for preeclampsia should consider low-dose aspirin. […] Taking aspirin does not guarantee that you will not develop preeclampsia. It is simply one more thing that women can do with relative safety to reduce their overall risk. […] The USPSTF authors also agreed that preventing preeclampsia could reduce medical intervention in pregnancy and delivery.

  Pre-eclampsia is a particularly exciting area of prevention as it is a serious condition that cannot be cured except by birth, has significant risks for both mother and baby, and is now known to be safely reduced by around 60% with a simple daily dose of aspirin (at night). […] Aspirin is started early to help the placenta grow and continue to develop optimally. This is before 16 weeks although there is a lesser degree of benefit if started later. […] In short, yes. A very large trial (ASPRE) was able to demonstrate the safety of aspirin at 150mg in pregnant women for mothers and their babies and that it successfully reduced the incidence of severe early pre-eclampsia, the kind most associated with harm to mother and baby. […] There are other things you can do to reduce your chance of developing pre-eclampsia. These include maintaining a healthy BMI, keeping any chronic medical conditions well controlled and taking a calcium supplement or having a calcium rich diet. […] Interestingly, there is good data which shows that aspirin taken at night is much more effective than aspirin taken in the morning at preventing pre-eclampsia, even when all else is equivalent.

  Calcium plays an important role in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle and vascular endothelial function and contributes to normal blood pressure regulation. […] Since 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended calcium supplementation to prevent PE in pregnant women with low calcium intake. A recent meta-analysis in 2022 showed that calcium supplementation significantly reduced the risk of developing PE (RR: 0.49, 0.390.61) (30 studies, n=20,445). […] To date, the evidence for calcium supplementation is of high quality; therefore, calcium supplementation is recommended during pregnancy in settings where calcium intake is low (e.g., 800mg/day). […] Therefore, calcium supplementation is expected to be effective in preventing PE in Japan, one of the countries with low calcium intake. […] Although vitamin D is gaining attention as a potential candidate for PE prevention, the accumulated evidence is not sufficient to recommend routine vitamin D supplementation.
