Background: Hypertensive disorders are common complication occurring during pregnancy responsible for maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. Though the condition is on decline, still stands a public health problem. The aims and objectives of the study were to know the clinical presentation among PIH patients and to find out foetal outcome among patients with PIH.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted over period of 1 year in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, tertiary care health facility at GMERS Medical College and Hospital, Valsad. A total of 64 pregnant women with PIH were enrolled in this study with inclusion-exclusion criteria. Necessary information such as Socio-demographic information, detailed clinic and obstetric history, clinical examination, investigations and foetal outcome was note by using preformed performa. Data were entered and analyzed by using MS Excel and Epi Info software.
Results: Majority of PIH mother is belonging to age group of 18-26 years (51.56%), PIH is more prevalent among nulliparous (57.81%). Among PIH mother 48.44% had lower abdominal pain, 18.75% had vomiting/epigastric discomfort followed by headache (12.50%), convulsion (10.94%) etc. 53.12% of PIH mother delivered low birth weight babies, 7.81% are IUGR. 18.75% of babies were required NICU admission with 1.56% of neonatal death.
Conclusions: Pregnancy induced hypertension is a common medical disorder associated with pregnancy. We noted that PIH is more prevalent in younger age groups and nulliparous mothers. PIH lead to a various clinical manifestation some of this may use as early recognition of PIH. PIH also lead to increase adverse foetal outcome. Thus fetal morbidity and mortality can be reduced among PIH patients by early recognition and institutional management.
