Abstract

Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, encompassing conditions like gestational hypertension and preeclampsia, significantly impact maternal and fetal health. Understanding their incidence and associated risk factors is vital for improving prenatal care. Objectives: This study aims to determine the incidence of hypertensive disorders among pregnant women and identify key demographic and health-related factors associated with these conditions. Methods: Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Obstetric outpatient Department. Participants: 250 pregnant women, ranging from 18 to 45 years, at various stages of gestation. Data Collection: Medical histories, blood pressure measurements, and relevant biochemical markers were collected. Statistical Analysis: Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and logistic regression were used to analyze the data. Results: Incidence: The incidence of hypertensive disorders was found in a specific percentage of the participants. Risk Factors: Key risk factors such as age, BMI, and medical history were significantly associated with the development of hypertensive disorders. Demographics: The study also revealed demographic trends, such as a higher incidence in certain age groups or pre-existing conditions. Conclusion: This study highlights a significant incidence of hypertensive disorders in pregnant women, underscoring the need for targeted prenatal screening and management strategies. The identification of key risk factors can aid healthcare providers in developing personalized care plans.
