Prevalence of Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension in Teenage Pregnancies at a Tertiary Care Hospital

Abstract

    The aim of this study was the evaluation of the prevalence of pregnancy-induced hypertension among teenage pregnancies in a tertiary care setup. This descriptive case series was conducted at the Gynaecology & Obstetrics Department from December 2023 to June 2024. A total of 163 pregnant women in the age range of 10-19 years with a gestation age of more than 20 weeks were enrolled in the study. PIH was diagnosed if blood pressure was ≥140/90 mmHg on at least two occasions. The participants were followed at different stages of pregnancy. Data analysis was done using SPSS-17 and Chi-square tests, where a p-value ≤0.05 was considered significant. PIH was present in 14.7% of cases. No significant association was noted between maternal age, gravidity, parity, and gestational age with PIH. Younger maternal age is the other important risk factor for PIH.
