The Investigation of the Prediction Model and Prevention Strategy of Serious Pregnancy Complications in Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy Based on the Chinese Population (HDP-RPP)

1. Evaluation of the efficacy of aspirin in preventing preeclampsia and its serious complications during pregnancy and postpartum. 2. To establish a risk prediction model for severe pregnancy complications in pregnant women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Pregnancy Complications; Hypertensive Disorder of Pregnancy
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Low-dose aspirin

Detailed Description

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) is the second leading cause of maternal death in clinical practice. The prediction and prevention of HDP and its serious complications could be a breakthrough to further reduce the maternal mortality rate in China. Aspirin (ASP) is widely used clinically as a first-line prevention program for preeclampsia (PE). However, how to determine the effectiveness of ASP prevention before the onset of PE high-risk pregnant women and adjust the risk monitoring plan accordingly has become a clinical difficult point. Two prospective and observational researches will be lauched in this study. In the first part of this study, ASP resistance test and HDP-related biomarkers will be combined to evaluate the effect of ASP on the prevention of PE from multiple dimensions, and placental pathology will be analyzed to assist evaluate, in order to more comprehensively evaluate the preventive effect of aspirin in high-risk of PE pregnant women in the first and second trimester. In the second part of this study, we aim to reduce the incidence of serious HDP complications and improve maternal and child outcomes for pregnant women with HDP who have missed HDP prediction and prevention opportunities in the first trimester, or aspirin prevention is ineffective. It is planned to establish a risk prediction model for severe pregnancy complications in pregnant women with HDP by adding other biological and physical indicators on the basis of maternal factors, in order to more accurately predict one or several severe complications of HDP over a period of time.

Number of groups / cohorts

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort	Intervention / Treatment
Women at high risk for preeclampsia; Using FIGO recommended preeclampsia screening model for the first-trimester which combined maternal risk factors, mean arterial pressure, placental growth factor, uterine artery pulsatility index to evaluate pregnant's risk for preeclampsia. Risk value≥1/100 is defined as screened high risk.	Drug: Low-dose aspirin; FIGO adopts and supports that in high-risk women, defined by the first-trimester combined test, aspirin ~150 mg/night should be commenced at 11-14+6 weeks of gestation until either 36 weeks of gestation, when delivery occurs, or when pre-eclampsia is diagnosed.
Women at low risk for preeclampsia; Using FIGO recommended preeclampsia screening model for the first-trimester which combined maternal risk factors, mean arterial pressure, placental growth factor, uterine artery pulsatility index to evaluate pregnant's risk for preeclampsia. Risk value<1/100 is defined as screened low risk.
