| Sumario: | Background: Preeclampsia is one of the most frequent and severe complications of pregnancy and contributes significantly to maternal and perinatal mortality during childbirth or in the puerperium. Objective: To analyze the predisposing factors for preeclampsia in pregnant women in the labor and recovery unit of the Rioverde Type C Health Center in the period from April to December 2020. Method: Quantitative, cross-sectional study with a descriptive approach. The sample of typical cases was made up of 36 patients. The methods used were measurement, observation, analysis and synthesis, and deductive. As techniques, a survey, document review and body mass index calculation were used. Results: In maternal factors, maternal age showed the highest incidence, followed by hypertensive disease of pregnancy in a previous pregnancy. Of the predisposing paternal factors, the most important was 73.3% who had a new sexual partner; Chronic hypertensive disease had a higher incidence in the factor on pre-existing diseases. The predisposing factor related to pregnancy showed a high presence of urinary infections (79.2%). Among the maternal complications, placental abruption and postpartum hemorrhage stood out; and of the perinatal ones, there were 8 deaths, and several newborns were premature. Conclusion: The importance of carrying out adequate prenatal controls for pregnant women with risk factors is confirmed, since preeclampsia is one of the pathologies that entails serious complications. Most of the predisposing factors are non-modifiable, so careful prenatal care is required to ensure early diagnosis and timely management of this entity. |
