Abstract

Objectives: To study Prevalence, risk factors & feto maternal outcome in PIH cases. Materials & method: hospital based case control study was conducted over the period of one year in the department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology in NHL municipal college, Ahmadabad. All pregnant women (including PIHcases & non PIHcontrol) delivered during the study period were enrolled & their antenatal records were scrutinized to collect necessary information such as detailed history, clinical examination findings & investigations performed. Results were analyzed using MS Excel & Epi Info. Results: In the present study, the Prevalence of PIH was 7.85% which includes Prevalence of pre-eclampsia & eclampsia 6.97 & 0.94% respectively. On Univariate analysis – risk factors such as those who have not registered in antenatal period, teenage age groups, primigravida, who had history of PIH in previous pregnancy, family history of PIH & obesity were significantly associated with cases (PIH) as compared to control (non–PIH). Maternal mortality was nil & perinatal mortality was 17% (14 in pre- eclampsia cases & 3 in eclamptic cases). Conclusion: Pregnant women at risk of PIH should be identified as early as possible & high quality antenatal care  should be given in order to minimize the complications of PIH both for the mother & the fetus.
