ABSTRACT
Introduction: in order to establish whether administering acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in pregnant women with risk factors for preeclampsia impacts the prevention of low birth weight in their child, we analyzed two retrospective cohorts of mother-child data, one with an indication of ASA intake (100 mg C/24 h) and a control group without management. The birth weight of the newborns was reviewed, and their weight-for-gestational-age status (low < 10th percentile) was established. The risk was established by odds ratios adjusted for confounding variables. Results: 131 neonates born to mothers who received ASA were included, of whom 73 were low birth weight (55.7%, 95% CI 46.8-64.4%) and 277 controls with 125 low birth weight neonates (45.1%, 95% CI 39.2-51.2%). Fetal exposure to ASA increased the risk of low birth weight 1.7 times (95% CI 1.1-2.88), adjusted for sex, gestational age, maternal age, presence of preeclampsia, and/or maternal hypertension. Conclusion: our data indicate that administering ASA in mothers at risk of preeclampsia could harm fetal growth.REFERENCES
