This study aimed to identify the effect of low dose aspirin administration in low risk pregnant ladies who have abnormal uterine artery Doppler results. Patients and Methods: A randomized clinical trial was performed on 50 pregnant ladies (≥16 weeks of gestation) in Sulaymaniyah Maternity Teaching Hospital during January 2017 to January 2018. The participants were randomly enrolled into two groups; the participants in the first group were given 100 mg of aspirin tablet each but the other group was given nothing. Results: Preeclampsia was significantly (P-value of <0.001) less in the aspirin group as compared to the other group (16% and 40% respectively). The pulsatility index (PI) was not significantly different in both the groups (P-value = 0.69), but resistance index (RI) was significantly lower in the aspirin group (P-value of <0.001). Conclusion: Doppler study of the uterine artery at 16 weeks or higher in low risk pregnant women appears to be useful as a screening test and low dose of aspirin therapy at early stage of pregnancy will decrease the incidence of preeclampsia.
