EPIDEMIOLOGY OF PREGNANCY INDUCED HYPERTENSION – A MULTIFACTORIAL INFLUENCE. A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
Abstract:
Pregnancy-related hypertension is a major cause of maternal and fetal mortality worldwide. About 10% of maternal mortality in Asia and Africa is due to high blood pressure in pregnancy. In Latin America, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy are responsible for 25% of maternal mortality.(1) The paper aims to evaluate the incidence of hypertensive disorders associated with the pregnancy between January 2019 and December 2019 at the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Clinic of the County Emergency Clinical Hospital in Sibiu, Romania. Between January 2019 and December 2019, in the Obstetrics and Gynecology clinic of the Sibiu County Emergency Clinical Hospital, 69 pregnant women with pregnancy-related hypertensive pathology were hospitalized. Of these, 95,65% of pregnant women had a single fetal pregnancy and 4,34% had a twin pregnancy. The patients were between 16 and 44 years old. In the first age category, there was only one pregnant woman who developed hypertensive pathology in pregnancy. The second age category included 50 pregnant women, while the third age category included 18 pregnant women. The average age parameter at the time of admission was 30.79 years old.
