Abstract

Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP) are a significant health concern worldwide and a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Despite numerous studies on the subject, there is a need for a comprehensive and updated systematic review to consolidate the existing evidence and provide a better understanding of the epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, management strategies, and outcomes associated with HDP. We conducted a systematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A thorough search of electronic databases, including PubMed, MEDLINE, Scholar Indexing Society, Embase, and Cochrane Library, was performed. The search included studies published up to September 2021. Eligibility criteria included articles written in English, involving human subjects, and investigating hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. The initial search yielded a substantial number of articles related to HDP. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, a final selection of studies was included in the review. The findings revealed a wide range of factors associated with the development of HDP, including maternal age, pre-pregnancy body mass index, family history of hypertension, and certain lifestyle factors. Additionally, the review explored the impact of HDP on maternal and fetal health, including increased risks of preeclampsia, preterm birth, intrauterine growth restriction, and other adverse outcomes. Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy remain a significant public health concern with potentially severe consequences for both mother and child. Understanding the risk factors and possible interventions is crucial for early detection, prevention, and appropriate management of HDP. This systematic review provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge on HDP, which may help guide further research and inform healthcare policies aimed at reducing the burden of this condition.
