L’objectif de cette étude était d’évaluer la prévalence de l’hypertension gestationnelle et déterminer ses prédicteurs parmi les femmes enceintes fréquentant les établissements de soins de santé primaires de la ville de Béni Mellal au Maroc. La prévalence de l’hypertension gestationnelle était de 18,7 %. Le faible revenu mensuel du ménage (ORA (odds ratio ajusté) = 7,874 ; IC 95 % = [1,788–34,67]), l’âge gestationnel de moins de 37 semaines (ORA = 6,860 ; IC 95 % = [1,285–36,626]), les connaissances limitées sur l’hypertension gestationnelle (ORA = 12,719 ; IC 95 % = [3,386–47,785]) et la primigravidité (ORA = 9,047 ; IC 95 % = [(1,595–51,324]) étaient significativement associées à l’hypertension gestationnelle.

The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of gestational hypertension, and to determine its predictors among pregnant women attending primary health care facilities in Beni Mellal city in Morocco. The prevalence of gestational hypertension was 18.7%. The low monthly household income (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) = 7.874; IC 95% = [1.788–34.67]), gestational age less than 37 weeks (AOR = 6.860; IC 95% = [1.285–36.626]), limited knowledge on gestational hypertension (AOR = 12.719; IC 95% = [3.386–47.785]), and primigravidity (AOR = 9.047; IC 95% = [1.595–51.324]), were significantly associated with gestational hypertension.
