title: Previous pregnancy history, parity, maternal age and risk of pregnancy induced hypertension.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The influence of antepartal, intrapartal and early neonatal risk factors, are very important during the pregnancy and the pregnancy outcome, also for the early neonatal period and the forthcoming children development. Our aim is to detect the risks groups of pregnant women that later develop Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH) and risk factors that precede its appearance.
  
  
  METHODS
  We examined 67 preeclamptic and 129 normotensive pregnancies. In research are included only single pregnancies and the following parameters: maternal age, parity and previous pregnancy history.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Average age is 25.73+/-5.77 years. After all, the largest number of primipara with preeclampsia is in category from 20 years (p<0.01). Considering the multipara we noticed that preeclampsia is most commonly developed in age between 31-35 years (p<0.01). Biggest number of pregnancies in normotensive group had previous normal pregnancies (59.15 %), while in hypertensive group only 30.77 % patients had normal pregnancies (p<0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  PIH is most frequently appearing in young primiparas and adult multiparas. Pregnancies with PIH, really often there were negative ending of previous pregnancies (Tab. 5, Ref. 20). Full Text in free PDF www.bmj.sk.
