Hypertension in Pregnancy in Viet Nam: Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Healthcare Disparities
DOI:
Abstract
Hypertension in pregnancy, encompassing both gestational hypertension and preeclampsia, is a significant public health concern, particularly in Southeast Asia. This study investigates the prevalence, risk factors, and healthcare management of hypertension in pregnancy in Viet Nam, with data collected from various healthcare facilities across the country in July 2023. The study finds that 25% of pregnant women in the sample experienced hypertension, with a notable distribution between gestational hypertension and preeclampsia. Key risk factors identified include obesity, advanced maternal age, diabetes, and socio-economic challenges. The study also highlights substantial disparities in healthcare access and management between urban and rural areas, with urban areas having better access to prenatal care and specialized resources compared to rural regions. These findings underscore the urgent need for targeted public health interventions and improvements in healthcare infrastructure to address these disparities and improve maternal health outcomes. Effective management of hypertension in pregnancy requires a comprehensive approach, including enhanced access to healthcare, improved education, and socio-economic support to reduce the incidence and impact of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy.
