Effect of folic acid supplementation in pregnancy on preeclampsia
EF 2008-09
Résumé
The proposed project aims to conduct a study in the next five years on a new prevention strategy for preeclampsia in women with a high risk of developing preeclampsia: supplementation of folic acid starting in early pregnancy (12-16 weeks of gestation) until delivery, using randomized controlled trial, the scientific sounding method.
Preeclampsia is hypertension that develops in pregnancy with proteinuria, affecting at least 5% of pregnancies worldwide.
