Implementation of routine first trimester combined screening for pre-eclampsia: a clinical effectiveness study.
CONCLUSIONS: First trimester combined screening for pre-eclampsia is both feasible and effective in a public healthcare setting. Such an approach results in a two-fold de-escalation of risk, doubling of pre-eclampsia detection, near total physician compliance of aspirin use and a significant reduction in the prevalence of preterm pre-eclampsia.
TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: Implementation of 1st trimester combined pre-eclampsia screening effectively reduces prevalence of the disorder.
