  4. Background • HDP are one of the major causes of 80% of maternal deaths globally, 6% of maternal deaths in Uganda • Changes in maternal characteristics is a risk factor to increase in HDP • The probability of HDP detection among pregnant women is 0.28 (UDHS, 2011) • Prevalence of HDP and associated factors unknown in Mukono District, Uganda

  5. Study objectives • To determine the prevalence of Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy among pregnant women • To identify the distribution of the different types of Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy among pregnant women • To identify the factors associated with Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy among pregnant women

  7. Methodology • Cross sectional community survey, March to June 2013 • Study site: Mukono district, central Uganda • Study Population: pregnant women • Sample size: 372 • Multi-stage sampling technique was used • Structured questionnaire • 2 BP measurements • A urine sample taken and tested on site for protein • Ethics approval: MUSPH Higher Degrees Research and Ethics Committee

  8. Data analysis • Uni-variate, bivariate and multivariate analysis (logistic regression) was done • Prevalence of HDP was calculated as the proportion of respondents with HDP per 100 • HDP was classified to type using a composite of gestation age, proteinuria and antihypertensive use • Odds Ratios and 95% CI were the measures of association used.

  9. Results • Total number of participants: 372 pregnant women • Respondents age ranged from 14 to 41 with a mean of 24 years (SD= ±4.78, 95% CI (23.87-24.85) • Their gestation age ranged from 2 to 41 weeks with a mean of 22.3 (SD= ±9, 95% CI 21.39-23.23)
