Preeclampsia / ASA Risk Assessment

Major + Moderate criteria for ASA eligibility, low-SES point, HROB referral threshold.

Source: Outpatient PGY-1 handoff

Need 1 major or 2 moderate criteria to qualify for ASA.

Major:

  • History of preeclampsia, especially with adverse outcome
  • Multifetal gestation
  • Chronic hypertension
  • Pregestational type 1 or 2 diabetes
  • Kidney disease
  • Autoimmune disease (e.g. SLE, APS)

Moderate:

  • Nulliparity
  • Obesity (BMI > 30)
  • Family history of preeclampsia (mother or sister)
  • Black race (as a proxy for underlying racism)
  • Low income
  • Age 35+
  • Personal history (low birth weight or SGA, prior adverse outcome, >10-year pregnancy interval)
  • IVF

Everyone gets 1 point for low SES. Anyone with major criteria other than history of preE goes to HROB.

If positive screen:

  • Low-dose ASA until delivery.
  • Receive BP cuff + sheet to document.
  • >140/90 — write down + call DCHD.
  • Severe ≥160/110 — go to triage immediately.
