Introduction: Hypertension complicates 10% of all pregnancies. Various adverse outcomes of hypertension in pregnancy include antepartum hemorrhage, postpartum hemorrhage, acute renal and hepatic failure, maternal death, preterm birth, intrauterine growth retardation, and neonatal death. Despite various screening tools, there is high prevalence of hypertension in pregnancy and its related complications. Periodical analysis such cases are of utmost importance as it may help in early identification of the problem and measures to prevent its complications. Objectives: The objectives of this study is to identify the difference in pattern of hypertension in primiparous and multiparous women and its maternal and fetal outcomes and differences in lab parametersin both groups. Methodology: This was a retrospective study conducted among 88 women with hypertension and /or proteinuria complicating pregnancy who were admitted for delivery in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology, Velammal Medical College over a period of 1 year (Aug 2015 July 2016). The data were collected from the patients records. The patients were divided into two groups, primiparous and multiparous. The data were collected in terms of age, parity, gestational age, mode of delivery, birth weight of baby and complications. The results were statistically analysed with IBM SPSS statistics software 23.0 version. Results: The frequency of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy was 11.6 % in our study. The prevalance of eclampsia was 0.7%. The mean gestational age of babies was 39 weeks and 36 weeks in mild and severe preeclampsia in primiparous women and 37.5 and 34.2 weeks in multiparous women. The mean platelet count in mild and severe cases were 2.5 and 1.8 lakhs/cu mm in primiparous and 2.4 and 1.9 lakhs/cu mm in multiparous women. Conclusion: Though the prevalence of hypertension in primiparous women is more, the prevalence of severe preeclampsia in more common in multiparous women. Almost all cases of eclampsia occurred in primiparous women. A different pathophysiology could be a cause of hypertension in pregnancy in primiparous and multiparous women, as implied by significant differences in both groups.
