Commentary on “Determinants of pre‐eclampsia among pregnant women attending perinatal care in hospitals of the Omo district, Southern Ethiopia”

摘要

In the issue of The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, the article entitled “Determinants of pre-eclampsia in pregnant women attending hospitals in the Omo district of Southern Ethiopia” by Kassahun and colleagues examined factors associated with pre-eclampsia in Southern Ethiopia.1 They performed logistic regression analysis to identify factors, and reported that history of chronic hypertension in a primary relative, family history of diabetes mellitus, preterm gestation, and pre-conception smoking exposure are associated with an increased risk of pre-eclampsia. This study reveals important data and clinical implications for pregnant women in low- and middle-income countries, such as Ethiopia.
