Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy are not uncommon in Nigeria. They are associated with adverse outcomes with over one-quarter of women with eclampsia dying. The main predictors include older age, poor education, extremes of parity and previous CS or miscarriage. Maternal and perinatal outcomes are poor with about a quarter developing complications and about 1 in 10 having stillbirths.
