IMPROVED FETAL OUTCOME AMONG HYPERTENSIVE PREGNANT WOMEN AS A RESULT OF SPECIALIZED PRENATAL PROGRAM-A STUDY
Abstract
Hypertension complicating pregnancy is one of the commonest disordersof pregnancy and is a leading cause of maternal and infant morbidity and
mortality and contributes significantly to intra-uterine fetal growth
retardation and death due to placental insufficiency and abruption
placentae as revealed in various studies. Therefore the present study using
quasi-experimental time series non-equivalent control group design was
conducted at 16 weeks of gestation till Ist week of delivery on 110
hypertensive pregnant women at Maternity Hospital, SKIMS, Srinagar
Kashmir (J&K, India) to determine the effectiveness of specialized prenatal
program on their fetal outcome. The study revealed a significant difference
in fetal outcome of experimental group (55) as compared to control group
of hypertensive pregnant women (55).
Key words: Hypertension in pregnancy; fetal outcome; specialized
prenatal program
