The degree of pregnancy-induced hypertension of mothers in selected hospitals: Its relationship to pregnancy outcomes
Abstract
This study determined the relationship between degree of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and pregnancy outcomes among 361 mothers admitted in two hospitals in Iloilo City. An analysis of hospital records showed that mothers with family history of hypertension were more likely to develop PIH than those with none. Moreover, the higher their degree of PIH, the more likely that their babies would get sick. When mode of delivery was controlled, the significant influence of PIH on the fetal condition was sustained, and its significant adverse effect on mother’s condition which was absent in the zero order analysis, surfaced.
