In 2020, 12.5% of pregnant women were diagnosed with hypertension. This figure increased in 2021 to 20.85%, and in 2022 it was recorded that 23.15% of pregnant women suffered from hypertension. A significant increase continued in 2023, with 25.74% of pregnant women experiencing hypertension. The purpose of the study was to determine the factors that cause hypertension in pregnant women.
