Date of Publication: November 2018. | Abstract: | Pre-eclampsia is a common condition that affects 2-5% of pregnancies and is associated with significant maternal and perinatal morbidity, and cost to the healthcare system. In those at high risk for pre-eclampsia, interventions such as aspirin intake have been shown to reduce prevalence of disease. However, to implement these interventions, it is essential that high-risk women be identified early in pregnancy. A combined first trimester screening model for pre-eclampsia that includes maternal history, mean arterial pressure, uterine artery Doppler and PlGF has been shown to be the most effective at identifying the population at greatest risk of pre-eclampsia. This article will explore the most appropriate methods of measuring the components of first trimester screening and discuss the use of aspirin for prevention of pre-eclampsia in pregnancy.Copyright © 2018 Australasian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine | DOI: | http://monash.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/ajum.12111 | ORCID: | Reddy, Maya; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4251-7193 Rolnik, Daniel Lorber; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-2263-3592 | ISSN: | 1836-6864 | URI: | https://repository.monashhealth.org/monashhealthjspui/handle/1/37573 | Type: | Article |
