Introduction:
Hypertensive states of pregnancy are a set of pathologies that can cause death or chronic disability in mothers, fetuses and newborns.
Objective:
To determine the frequency of hypertensive states of pregnancy and maternal-perinatal complications at the Regional Hospital of Ciudad del Este.
Materials and methods:
Descriptive cross-sectional study with non-probability sampling. All pregnant women with hypertensive states of pregnancy or associated with pregnancy who had obstetric events at the Regional Hospital of Ciudad del Este in the years 2018 to 2020 were studied. The data were analyzed in Stata 12.0 software.
Results:
A total of 7056 patients were studied. 11.9% of participants had hypertensive states of pregnancy, and among them, 55.3% were found to be more frequent from 20 to 35 years of age, 71.3% had poor prenatal care, and 42.8% had preeclampsia. 65.2% of the participants ended up with cesarean delivery, 27.8% had HELLP syndrome, 1.4% required intensive care and 0.6% ended in maternal death. Regarding perinatal complications, low birth weight was found in 30.2%, and death at birth in 2%.
Conclusion:
A high frequency of hypertensive states of pregnancy with a high percentage of complications and poor quality of prenatal control was registered. One of the most common perinatal complications were low birth weight, and the most serious was death.
