Preeclampsia, prevalence and associated factors
This study identifies maternal age, family history, and prior obstetric history as key associated factors for PE, emphasizing the need for targeted screening and early intervention. Enhanced prenatal care, including routine risk assessments, patient education, and regular monitoring through blood pressure checks, urine protein testing, and fetal growth assessments, is cardinal for early detection and effective management of high-risk individuals.
