加纳库马西 IVF/ICSI 妊娠中阿司匹林预防子痫前期的前瞻性队列研究
Aspirin use for pre-eclampsia prevention in IVF/ICSI pregnancies in Kumasi, Ghana: a prospective cohort study
摘要
本研究为加纳库马西4家私立ART中心的前瞻性队列,纳入100例≥20周IVF/ICSI妊娠,按低剂量阿司匹林暴露分为50对50,依2021 ISSHP标准诊断子痫前期。阿司匹林组子痫前期发生率更低(10.0% vs 34.0%,RR 0.29,95%CI 0.11-0.76),诊断孕周更晚、早发型更少,并伴早产减少、5分钟Apgar更高及住院更短。结论支持将子痫前期风险评估和阿司匹林预防纳入ART常规与孕前照护;但样本小、观察性设计限制因果推断。
原文摘要
BACKGROUND: Pregnancies conceived through assisted reproductive technology (ART) have a substantially elevated risk of pre-eclampsia, and international guideline classify ART as a high-risk factor warranting low-dose aspirin prophylaxis. However, data on aspirin utilisation and effectiveness in ART pregnancies in sub-Saharan Africa are scare. METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted at four private ART centres in Kumasi, Ghana, from August 2024 to February 2025. Women with ongoing In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) pregnancies at ≥ 20 weeks of gestation were consecutively enrolled and categorized by aspirin status (50 exposed and 50 unexposed). Pre-eclampsia was diagnosed according to the 2021 International Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy criteria. Data were analysed using SPSS version 27 with significance set at p < 0.05. RESULTS: In a cohort of 100 women (mean age of 40.8 years), aspirin use was associated with a lower incidence of pre-eclampsia (10.0% vs. 34.0%; relative risk (RR) 0.29, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.11-0.76; p = 0.004). The mean gestational age at pre-eclampsia diagnosis was delayed in aspirin users (36.46 ± 1.07 weeks vs. 32.60 ± 4.34 weeks; p = 0.099). Early-onset pre-eclampsia (< 34 weeks) occurred in 0% of aspirin users compared to 42.9% of affected non-users. Aspirin use was significantly associated with fewer preterm deliveries (p=0.009), higher 5-minute appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, respiration (Apgar) scores (p = 0.034), and shorter maternal hospital stays(p=0.020). CONCLUSIONS: Low-dose aspirin significantly reduced the incidence and severity of pre-eclampsia and better perinatal outcomes in this Ghanaian ART cohort. Despite its high efficacy, prophylaxis remains critically underutilized. These findings support incorporating pre-eclampsia risk assessment and aspirin prophylaxis into routine and preconception ART care.
推荐理由:在撒哈拉以南非洲ART人群中补充了低剂量阿司匹林预防子痫前期的前瞻性证据,临床可操作性强;但样本量小且非随机,证据强度有限,适合作为局部实践与后续研究参考。
