THE PREVALENCE OF HYPERTENSION IN THE FEMALE POPULATION DEPENDING ON GESTATIONAL HYPERTENSION IN ANAMNESIS

Abstract

The prevalence of hypertension in the female population, depending on the presence of gestational hypertension history, set the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value of gestational hypertension as a predictor of hypertension. The observation was carried out during the mandatory preventive examinations, the volume of which amounted to 643 women. The questionnaire for the study of obstetric history included a chronological description of all the pregnancies of more than 22 completed weeks of gestation. Inclusion in the object of study only workers of the railway system made it possible to clarify and supplement the personal information about gestational hypertension according to the history of the birth, which are stored in the archives of the railway hospital. Women aged 49-54 years with gestational hypertension often observed significant increase in blood pressure. Probability of high blood pressure in women aged 4953 years, significantly increases depending on the number of pregnancies associated with gestational hypertension. Gestational hypertension is a highly sensitive (> 56,5%) and specific (>46,0%) predictor of hypertension aged 49-53 years, the predictive value which is greater than 42.9%.
