Abstract

Background and aim: Hypertensive disorder in pregnancy is a common medical complication of pregnancy and contributes about 12–22% of all pregnancies. It is a major cause of maternal mortality and morbidity. Aim of our study is to determine frequency of hypertensive disorder in pregnancy and to determine maternal and neonatal outcome of patients delivering at our hospital with hypertensive disorder in pregnancy. Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in a tertiary care teaching hospital. Retrospectively data was collected for a period of one year from July 2018 to June 2019. It included all the patients delivered during study period with any type of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. Results: Incidence of hypertensive disorder in pregnancy was more common in younger age group (18–25 years) that is 41.9%. Mild preeclampsia was the commonest type around 47.7%. Incidence of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy was more common in term pregnancy 38.1% (37–40 weeks). Mode of delivery by Cesarean section was common in our study 63.2%. Conclusion: Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy is the dreaded complication of pregnancy if left untreated. The outcome in hypertensive disorder of pregnancy can be improvised with good antenatal care, preconceptional counseling, risk stratification, properly planned investigations and markers, ultrasonography and with good NICU and ICU care. This study about outcomes will help formulate preventive strategies of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy.
