Incidence of pre-eclampsia and its associated factors among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at the 37 Military Hospital in Ghana
This study reported a higher incidence of pre-eclampsia than previous research and identified maternal age, education, gestational weight gain, stress and fruit and vegetable intake as key risk factors. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to enhance maternal awareness, optimise prenatal care and reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia, ultimately improving pregnancy outcomes.
