Abstract
Placental abruption is a medical condition characterized by the premature separation of the placenta from the uterine wall before the baby is delivered. Placental abruption remains a prevalent condition in the field of obstetrics, and it continues to pose a mystery as well. Despite the progress made in obstetrics, there are currently no dependable tests or biomarkers available to anticipate and preemptively address the occurrence of placental abruption, which can still be a daunting challenge for the medical team. Placental abruption represents a significant obstetric complication, carrying substantial risks for both maternal and fetal well-being. This research endeavor aims to explore the occurrence rate of placental abruption among pregnant individuals affected by hypertensive disorders. Conditions like preeclampsia and gestational hypertension are recognized as factors that elevate the chances of experiencing placental abruption. Gaining an understanding of the prevalence of this complication in hypertensive pregnancies assumes critical importance for timely detection and effective intervention. We conducted an extensive examination of medical records and obstetric outcomes within a sizable cohort of expectant mothers afflicted by hypertensive disorders. Our study outcomes provide valuable insights into the frequency of placental abruption in this specific demographic, thereby emphasizing the imperative for enhanced monitoring and improved care strategies to mitigate associated risks.
