Journal Title: Scholars International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract:Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are the most common but a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The present study was done to identify the possible risk factors for the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. This hospital based case-control study was done on 250 normotensive and 250 women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were included after obtaining informed consent. Data were collected on socio-demographic profile, obstetric history, history of hypertension in previous pregnancy, family history, pre pregnancy weight, height and BMI. Data were entered in the MS Excel sheet and statistically analysed. Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was used to calculate impact of different variables on the risk of presenting hypertension. The occurrence of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy was found significantly higher in the age group ≥30 years, nulliparity or Primipara, family history of hypertension and history of hypertension in previous pregnancy. Women with history of stillbirth were 5 times more at risk of having hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. No statistically significant relationship was found between hypertensive disorders in pregnancy with educational status, religion, residence and socioeconomic status, gravidity and history of abortion. Identifications of risk factors for hypertensive disorders during pregnancy will help in planning treatment of hypertension and preventing complications through regular antenatal check-up. Keywords: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, normotensive, risk factors.
