Long-term health and neurodevelopment in children after antenatal exposure to low-dose aspirin for the prevention of preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials

CONCLUSION: The two included studies showed evidence of potential benefit of antenatal low-dose aspirin on mortality and neurodevelopment up to the age of 18 months. Our findings support the current application of low-dose aspirin in pregnant women at risk for preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction. However, further follow-up research of children who were exposed to low-dose aspirin during pregnancy is of utmost importance to exclude potential long-term harm.PMID:34826669 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2021.11.010
