Abstract

Preeclampsia (PE), a condition characterized by hypertension that emerges after the 20th week of pregnancy and is characterised by proteinuria and some other signs of organ dysfunction, poses a important threat to maternal and perinatal both health. This risk is particularly pronounced when preeclampsia occurs early in pregnancy. Despite extensive scientific endeavours to develop preventive strategies, the incidence of preeclampsia has remained largely unchanged over recent decades. The current study aims to explore the relationship between historical indicators and several clinical markers as possible predictors of complications during pregnancy due to hypertension. Materials and Methods: Current prospective observational study had 252 recruited patients and was carried out at SGT Hospital in Gurugram. Pregnant participants were interviewed about their medical and investigative history, and a comprehensive assessment of various clinical parameters was performed to identify potential factors contributing to the development of hypertensive pregnancy disorders. Data was collected using validated questionnaires. Conclusion: Nulliparous women faced a higher risk compared to multiparous individuals, as did women with a family or clinical history of factors that could predispose them to preeclampsia or eclampsia, indicating an elevated risk
