Abstract

Pre-eclampsia represents a dangerous hypertensive pregnancy condition which leads to major health problems for mothers and their newborns, especially in developing nations. The research design of this study was cross-sectional to determine pre-eclampsia occurrence rates and risk factors among pregnant women visiting the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at Khalifa Gulnawaz Teaching Hospital in Bannu. The research found pre-eclampsia occurred in 4.1% of the 506 pregnant women who underwent investigations. The study established that chronic hypertension, together with obesity, severe anemia, and nulliparity, presented as major risk factors for pre-eclampsia. The study emphasizes the need for early identification and management of these risk factors to stop unfavourable fetal and maternal outcomes.
