The purpose of this study was to evaluate the
prevalence of Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy (HDP) and to determine the
factors associated with them in the city of Parakou in Benin, a West African
country. Method: It has been a descriptive cross-sectional study with a
prospective collection of data using a questionnaire in prenatal consultation
in the health center of Parakou’s commune for 4 months (May 1 to August 31,
2019). Result: A proportion of 8.2% (55/671) of the pregnancy had the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. The Gestational HyperTension was the most
common type of arterial hypertension (AHT) with a proportion of 49.1%. The
factors associated with HDP were the age of 30 to 34 (OR: 11.9; 95% CI: 1.54 - 92.29; p = 0.0346), the family history of
Arterial HyperTension (AHT) (OR: 1.5; 95% CI: 1.03 - 4.66; p = 0.0481), the BMI > 30 (OR:14.2; 95% IC: 7.02 - 28.69; p = 0.0235), being married or in a
common-law relationship (OR = 2.51; 95% CI: 1.30 - 4.86; p = 0.0412), the stress (OR: 2.0; 95% CI:1.09 - 3.32; p = 0.0209), the history of HDP (OR:
9.0; 95% CI: 2.53 - 15.23; p < 0.05).
Conclusion: HDP are common in Parakou.
Some factors previously described in the literature are associated with them.
