Objective: We present a protocol to investigate the effectiveness of aspirin use from early pregnancy, which is a randomized controlled trial to assess whether prescribed low-dose aspirin from early pregnancy reduces the prevalence of early and late-onset PE. Additionally, to compare the effectiveness of aspirin administration before and after 11 wk in reducing the occurrence of PE? Materials and Methods: All pregnancies at risk of PE, according to demographic and midwifery history, who are referred to the Maternal-Fetal Clinic of Tehran University hospital, Tehran, Iran were invited to take part in the trial. The outcomes of pregnancy and newborns will be gathered and analyzed. The first registration for the pilot study was in January 2023, and the participants were recognized as high-risk for PE.
