Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1 -Preeclampsia, defined as systolic blood pressure at =140 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure at =90 mm Hg on at least two occasions measured 4 hours apart in previously normotensive women and new onset proteinuria (i.e., =2+ on dipstick) at or after 20 weeks of gestation.<br>2 -Preeclampsia-associated fetal growth restriction, defined as abdominal circumference <3rd centile at <32 weeks’ gestation (early-onset) and =32 weeks’ gestation (late-onset) respectively.<br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br>1 -Any of the other features of severity in preeclampsia including: acute kidney injury (creatinine =90 µmol/L; 1mg/dL); liver involvement (elevated transaminases, e.g. alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase >40 IU/L) with or without right upper quadrant or epigastric abdominal pain; haematological complications (thrombocytopenia–platelet count <150,000/µL, disseminated intravascular coagulation, haemolysis); neurological complications (e.g. severe headaches, persistent visual scotomata, eclampsia, altered mental status, blindness, stroke, clonus); or uteroplacental dysfunction (stillbirth).<br>2 -Possible adverse effects of aspirin among participants such as upper abdominal (epigastric) pain, upper gastrointestinal bleeding e.g., haematochezia or haematemesis, antepartum haemorrhage (APH).<br>
