E9. Unpacking RANZCOG's Early Pregnancy Screening and Prevention of Preterm Preeclampsia Guideline (video)
Description
Preeclampsia is an uncommon yet high-risk condition – especially when it develops early in pregnancy. In this episode of Talking O&G: A RANZCOG Podcast, host Associate Professor Scott White is joined by Professor Amanda Henry and Associate Professor Daniel Rolnik to unpack RANZCOG’s Early Pregnancy Screening and Prevention of Preterm Preeclampsia Guideline.
This discussion explores the rationale behind the guideline update, how first-trimester screening improves detection of preeclampsia and practical steps for clinicians. Topics include individualised risk assessment, the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) first-trimester algorithm and the use of aspirin for risk reduction. The guests also discuss equity and access, including barriers faced in rural/remote settings, out-of-pocket costs and culturally competent care for First Nations and Māori patients.
