Abstract

Introduction: One of the diseases that occur after the 20th week of gestation is preeclampsia, characterized by the clinical presentation of increased blood pressure that may or may not be accompanied by positive proteinuria. This disease can eventually develop serious complications that can generate perinatal or maternal morbimortality. General objective: to estimate the risk factors that trigger the development of preeclampsia. Materials and methods: the following study is a cross-sectional, retrospective, observational and descriptive study. It consisted of a population of 200 pregnant women with a diagnosis of preeclampsia who were attended during the period 2022-2023 at the hospital IESS Ceibos and met the proposed inclusion criteria. Results: of the 200 pregnant women, the average age was 30 years, but the most repeated was 28 years. The average socioeconomic prevalence was the highest with a percentage of 86.5%. The majority of the population identified themselves as mestizo (89.5%). Of the pregnant women, 61.5% reported that their marital status was free union. The most prevalent personal pathological history was no history (56%) and the least frequent was hypertension and DM2 (3.5%). It also occurred in multiparous women with BMI greater than 27.5 with blood pressure greater than 140/90, positive proteinuria and creatinine in normal values. Conclusion: it was concluded that most of the investigated patients who attended the hospital frequently presented the risk factors determined in the investigation.
