Computer alert boosts aspirin use in High-Risk pregnancies
NCT ID NCT05802940
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested whether a pop-up alert in electronic health records could increase doctors' recommendations for low-dose aspirin in pregnant women at high risk for preeclampsia. Over 800 women were included, and the alert was shown during prenatal visits. The goal was to see if the alert improved aspirin recommendations compared to standard care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this alert system could become a standard tool to ensure more high-risk pregnant women receive aspirin to prevent preeclampsia.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed study testing a behavioral intervention, not a new drug. The alert may not work in all healthcare settings or may cause alert fatigue.
