Dr Deepthy Balakrishnan, Dr Asha Sreedhar

Abstract :

Aim– to estimate the prevalence of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy and to assess the maternal and fetal outcomes in women with hypertensive disorders. Materials and methods– All antenatal women attending OPD and all antenatal in patients were screened for hypertension during the period of 4 months from January to April 2014. All patients identified to have hypertensive disorders were identified and Outcome of pregnancies with hypertensive disorders was assessed. Results– In the period of 4 months, out of 3367 deliveries, 480 patients with hypertensive disorders were identified. The prevalence was 14.2 %. Associated gestational diabetes mellitus was seen in 22.5% hypertensive patients. Eclamptic seizures were seen in 2.3 % of cases. 1.5% hypertensive patients had auption. 32.4 % had preterm deliveries, 35.4% had intrauterine growth restriction and 4 babies died in the neonatal period. Conclusion– As we are striving to achieve the sustainable development goal target of an MMR of 70 by 2030, emphasis must be given to early detection and prompt treatment of hypertension to prevent morbidity and mortality related to hypertensive disorders in pregnant women.
