Article scientifique 2019 Anglais

Résumé

Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to assess the effect of pregnancy-induced hypertension on adverse maternal outcomes in Tigray Regional State, Ethiopia. A prospective cohort study was conducted on a total sample of 782 pregnant women attending antenatal care in hospitals of Tigray regional state, Ethiopia. Data were collected using interviewer-administered questionnaire and review of their medical records from February 1, 2018, to February 30, 2019. Data analysis was performed using Stata version 14.0.Results The overall adverse maternal outcome was 67.7% among women with pregnancy-induced hypertension and 25.1% among normotensive women. Specifically women with pregnancy-induced hypertension were at higher risk of developing Antepartum hemorrhage (Adjusted RR=1.4(1.1,2.5)), postpartum hemorrhage (RR=2.6(1.3,4.9)), induction of labor (RR=5.9(4.0,8.7)) and delivering by cesarean section (RR=2.1(1.6,2.8)) compared to normotensive women.
