Abstract
Background: About 10% of pregnant women are affected by Hypertension which is a universal health problem that leads to hospitalization, and even death of the mother. These illnesses of gestation period may by characterized by deferent syndromes, comprising long-lasting and gestational hypertension that results in seizures.
Aim: The Aim of this study was to find out the Thyroid Dysfunction among Hypertensive Pregnant Women in tertiary care hospital
Material and Methods: This observational study was conducted at Hayatabad Medical Complex from august 2019 to July 2023 after the approval from the ethical committee of the institute. A total of 101 pregnant women visited the hospital were included. The inclusion criteria was pregnant women diagnosed with hypertension and thyroid dysfunction and patients who discharge, pass away, or leave the hospital in between period of the study were excluded. Data were collected base on various variables like parameters like age, gestational age, length of stay were assessed using one sample t-test and were analyzed through SPSS software version 24 to find the outcomes. For Test of significance of hypertension and hypothyroidism in pregnant women we used Pearson Chi-square test {χ2 -test}
Results A total of 101 patients participated in this study which were recognized and examined for final outcome. Among these patients the frequency of hypothyroidism was (47%) followed by hypertension (32%) and females with both hypertension and hypothyroidism were 21% as presented in SPSS software version 24 which was used for the Statistical analysis and parameters were evaluated through one sample t-test. The p value found was <0.001 which indicates that these parameters are statistically significant. So in pregnant women there was statistically noteworthy variance among the high blood pressure and hypothyroidism.
Conclusion: It was identified from this study that there were changes in the thyroid function of pregnant women with hypertension and hypertensive pregnant women had hypothyroidism.
