ASSESSING HYPERTENSION RISK IN PREGNANT WOMEN WITH DIABETES MELLITUS

Аннотация

Diabetes mellitus during pregnancy is a significant health concern that can lead to various complications, including an increased risk of developing hypertension. This study aims to assess the prevalence and risk factors associated with hypertension in pregnant women diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. A comprehensive analysis of clinical data was conducted on a cohort of pregnant women, with a focus on those with gestational and pregestational diabetes. The findings reveal a strong correlation between diabetes mellitus and the incidence of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, including preeclampsia and gestational hypertension. Factors such as obesity, age, and family history of hypertension further exacerbate this risk. The study highlights the importance of early screening and continuous monitoring of blood pressure in pregnant women with diabetes to mitigate adverse outcomes. The results underscore the need for targeted interventions and personalized care plans to manage hypertension risk in this vulnerable population, thereby improving maternal and fetal health outcomes.
