Today, we have launched MaTRON, our UK-wide project looking at management of intermediate and high risk PE in pregnancy. This data is desperately needed to help plan services and future studies. There's still time to get involved https://tinyurl.com/22b3ucwp @GiuliaSimini1 @bhwords

COMING SOON…
MHRA is asking anyone with excessive bleeding due to DOAC to report it to Yellow Card scheme, after which they may be contacted for consent to provide further information & submit a blood sample to explore if they are at higher risk of excessive bleeding due to genetic makeup.

Evidence for the interaction between SSRIs and low-dose ASA was found to be weak. It is uncertain whether adding an SSRI to low-dose ASA increases the bleeding risk. Adding low-dose ASA to an SSRI may confer an increased bleeding risk but this is also uncertain.
