Abstract

A singleton live-born baby who weighs less than 2500 gram at birth is considered to have a low birth weight. In this research we aimed to determine whether or not there is an association between hypertension induced by pregnancy and low birth weight. We conducted a retrospective case-control study in the 1st Clinic of the Samarkand State Medical University. Pregnancy-induced hypertension was defined as blood pressure of >140/90 mm Hg. all analyses were carried out using R-studio version 3.6.2. A total of 300 participants were interviewed, of whom 150 were cases and 150 were controls. The majority of responders were between the ages of 21 and 32 (79.3%). The mean age of controls was greater (25.2±6.1 years) than that of cases (24.1 ±5.3 years). Women who gave birth to newborn with a low birth weight were 4.10 times more likely to have experienced pregnancy-induced hypertension (adj. OR = 4.10; 95% CI = 1.94-8.66, p<0.001). Women with previous history low birth weight newborn were more likely to deliver neonate with low birth weight (adj. OR = 2.40; 95% CI = 1.13-5.11, p<0.001).
