Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of maternal complications and identify factors associated with adverse maternal outcomes among women with hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP) in Vietnam. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 206 women with HDP who delivered at National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology between March 2023 and July 2023. Regarding maternal adverse outcomes, HELLP syndrome (3.4%), eclampsia (1.5%), and placental abruption (1.5%) were the three most common complications. There were no maternal deaths. Bivariate logistic regressions showed that platelet count, proteinuria, AST, ALT, Creatinine, and severity symptoms were associated with adverse maternal outcomes. In the multiple logistic regression model, platelet count, proteinuria, AST were independent predictors of adverse maternal outcomes. The prevalence of maternal complications in our study was lower than the rates reported in some previous studies. Severity symptoms and abnormal laboratory test results significantly increased the risk of developing maternal complications among women with HDP.
