Awareness and associated factors of pregnancy-induced hypertension among pregnant women in Africa: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Awareness of PIH is typically lower among women with a personal or family history of the condition, first-time mothers (primiparous women), and those with limited educational attainment, compared to their respective counterparts. To address this gap, increased investment in women's health is essential, with healthcare providers giving particular attention to those at higher risk due to limited PIH knowledge. Moreover, targeted interventions should aim to improve educational opportunities for women and raise awareness about the risk factors associated with PIH.
