Efficacy and safety of low dose aspirin and magnesium sulfate in the treatment of pregnancy induced hypertension: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract

Background:Magnesium sulfate combined with low-dose aspirin can significantly reduce adverse reactions and effectively lower blood pressure in patients with pregnancy induced hypertension, but the overall efficacy and safety of the combination of drugs are not clear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of magnesium sulfate combined with low-dose aspirin in the treatment of pregnancy induced hypertension.Methods:Randomized controlled trials focusing on the administration of magnesium sulfate combined with low-dose aspirin for pregnancy induced hypertension were searched from PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang, and the Chongqing VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database. Two researchers independently screened titles, abstracts, and full texts, and extracted relevant data. The RevMan 5.3 software and Stata 14 software were used for statistical analysis.Results:The effect and safety of magnesium sulfate combined with low-dose aspirin in the treatment of pregnancy induced hypertension were assessed by summarizing the related randomized controlled trials.Conclusion:This article provides theoretical support for the clinical application of magnesium sulfate combined with low-dose aspirin in the treatment of pregnancy induced hypertension.OSF Registration number:DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/SZFGB.
