Summary

This study tests whether a higher dose of aspirin (150mg) is better than the usual dose (75mg) at preventing preeclampsia, a serious condition involving high blood pressure during pregnancy. The trial will include 86 pregnant women in Kathmandu who are at high risk based on a scoring system. Participants will take aspirin daily from enrollment until delivery, and doctors will monitor for signs of preeclampsia.
