Description
Matthew Hoffman presents a 2025 review of low-dose aspirin use in pregnancy in the United States. US birth outcomes trail those of peer nations, driven by harms such as preeclampsia, early birth, stillbirth, and poor fetal growth. Most of these harms trace to the placenta and start early in pregnancy. Aspirin at low dose cuts the risk, yet uptake stays low and uneven across groups.
The review names open questions on dose, who should get the drug, and blocks to prescribing and steady use. A Delaware quality group then tackled the blocks: it set one screening rule for all, fed results back to hospitals, and taught patients more. Apt prescriptions rose from 10 to 65 percent under that push. Hoffman urges joint work by researchers, doctors, officials, and families to close the rest of the gap.
