ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Preeclampsia is among the leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, and it continues as a global health concern. Therefore, this study was aimed to assess the magnitude of pre-eclampsia and its determinant factors among women attending delivery services in Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital Northwest Ethiopia.METHODS:
Institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 261 women from January 1- 30, 2021. A systematic sampling technique was applied. Data were collected using a structured and pre-tested questionnaire. The collected data were entered using Epi-data version 4.2 and analyzed by statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 23. A significant association was declared at a p-value of < 0.05 with a 95% Confidence interval.RESULTS:
Overall 15,7% of women had preeclampsia. Age at menarche (10-15 years) (AOR=4.79; 95% CI 2.07-15.27), unwanted pregnancy (AOR1.29; 95% CI 1.59-8.44), history of chronic hypertension (AOR2.93; 95% CI 1.00-6.20), BMI ≥ 30 Kg/m2 (AOR1.79; 95% CI 1.06-3.65), and alcohol consumption (AOR2.12; 95% CI 4.00-14.14) were significantly associated with preeclampsia.CONCLUSION:
This study showed that the magnitude of preeclampsia was significantly high compared with previous national reports. Early menarche age, the status of current pregnancies, history of chronic hypertension, BMI, and alcohol consumption were significantly associated with preeclampsia. Therefore, the government and respective stakeholders should be strengthening antenatal care services to early identify and manage women with preeclampsia. Besides, health education and promotion should be strengthened regarding the maintenance of appropriate body weight and alcohol intake before pregnancy
