Abstract

Preterm birth and low birth weight are just two negative fetal outcomes that are linked to PIH. The WHO divides infants into three categories based on birth weight and gestational age: Small for gestational age, Appropriate for gestational age, and Large for gestational age. LBW babies are those who weigh less than 2.5kg within 24 hours of birth, according to these standards. Objectives: To determine the frequency of low birth weight in patients with gestational hypertension. Methods: This Descriptive study was done in department of Obstetrics and Gynecology unit III, Civil Hospital Karachi from 16th February 2019 to 15th August 2019. We enrolled 89women diagnosed with gestational hypertension meeting the criteria. Informed consent was taken. Results: Age range in this study was from 20 to 45 years with majority of the patients 52 (58.43%) were between 18 to 30 years of age. Mean gestational age was 39.51±2.7 weeks. Frequency of low birth weight in patients with gestational hypertension was found in 27 (30.34%) patients. Conclusions: This study concluded that frequency of low birth weight in patients with gestational hypertension is very high.

妊娠期高血压患者低出生体重的发生率

早产和低出生体重只是与妊高征相关的两种负面胎儿结果。世卫组织根据出生体重和胎龄将婴儿分为三类:胎龄小、胎龄适宜和胎龄大。根据这些标准，LBW婴儿是指出生24小时内体重低于2.5公斤的婴儿。目的:了解妊娠期高血压患者低出生体重的发生率。方法:本描述性研究于2019年2月16日至2019年8月15日在卡拉奇民用医院妇产科第三单元进行。我们招募了89名符合标准的诊断为妊娠期高血压的妇女。采取知情同意。结果:本组患者年龄范围为20 ~ 45岁，其中18 ~ 30岁占52例(58.43%)的多数。平均胎龄39.51±2.7周。27例(30.34%)妊娠期高血压患者出现低出生体重。结论:妊娠期高血压患者低出生体重发生率高。
