Abstract
Objectives: Study the prognostic, clinical and epidemiological profile of high blood pressure and pregnancy association at the Sylvanus Olympio Teaching Hospital (CHU Sylvanus Olympio) of Lomé. Patients and Method: It is about a retrospective study that is carried out at the gynecology-obstetrics unit from January to December 2016. Pregnant women with High Blood Pressure after delivery were concerned. Results: In total, 767 pregnant women with High Blood Pressure out of 12107 were taken. The frequency of HBP-pregnancy association was 6.33%. The 21 to 30 bracket age was the most represented (53.71%). The most common risk factor was the overweight or over-obseness (41.98%). Other risk factors were the first delivery and maternal age superior to 30 years old. Common clinical cases described in the study are the same as a predominance of preeclampsia . Caesarean has been the common method of delivering with foetal complications of prematurity type, neonatal suffering and hypotrophy. Conclusion: HBP-pregnancy association is a public health concern with serious foetal maternal complications. The prevention of this association is of great importance.
