Abstract
The hypertensive disorders of pregnancy Gestosis Score is a cost-effective tool designed to predict hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), including pre-eclampsia, using maternal history, clinical parameters, and laboratory data. Hence, a study of 100 first-trimester antenatal patients found that a Gestosis Score of ≥3 had a sensitivity of 84.64%, specificity of 96.04%, and diagnostic accuracy of 93.00% for predicting pre-eclampsia. Pre-eclampsia developed in 17.23% of participants, with a significant correlation between higher Gestosis Scores and increased risk (p < 0.05). Primigravida women (78%) and younger age groups (21–25 years, 49%) were predominant in the study population. The hypertensive disorders of pregnancy Gestosis Score are a reliable and practical screening tool, particularly beneficial in resource-limited settings for early identification of high-risk pregnancies and timely intervention to improve maternal and fetal outcomes.
