As part of the strategy to reduce the maternal and perinatal morbimortality associated with mild pre-eclampsia, low doses of aspirin were used since the disease was diagnosed until birth, and a comparison was made with a control group. It was demonstrated that among the patients treated with aspirin there was an increase of the referral frequency (p = 0.0493), specially in those groups that received doses of 90 and 120 mg every day. Doses of 90 or 120 mg daily were associated with higher gestational age at birth (p = 0.0391). Labor duration was longer in the study group. Most of the patients had deliveries; however, the birth way was not associated with the treatment received (p = 0.7706). Birth weight was significantly lower in the group that was administered 120 mg daily (p = 0.004). There were no differences of hemorrhage frequencies during postpartum among the studied groups. There was neither maternal nor perinatal mortality, and morbidity was not important.
