What’s new here and important for clinicians?
Approximately one-third of patients with IBD cared for in a maternal fetal medicine practice used low-dose aspirin for prevention of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. The observed rate of IBD flare during pregnancy or postpartum was not higher in patients who used low-dose aspirin.
What do patients need to know?
The use of low-dose aspirin among pregnant women with IBD for prevention of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy was not associated with an increased risk of disease activity.
