Background. Hypertensive condition during the pregnancy of the mother that usually occurs after 20 weeks of gestation age is clinically considered preeclampsia. Tis health problem of pregnant mothers can lead to various complications for both the mother and the baby. But the risk factors for preeclampsia have not been well documented. Terefore, availing up•to•date information on the prevalence and associated factors of preeclampsia is essential for its early identifcation and management. Tis study aimed to assess the prevalence of preeclampsia and associated factors among pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC). Methods. Cross•sectional study design was used from March 1, 2022, to March 30, 2022, among 235 pregnant women attending antenatal care at Tirunesh Beijing General Hospital (TBGH) from March 1, 2022 March 30, 2022, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Systematic random sampling was employed to get study participants from antenatal care attendants. Data were collected by an interviewer•administered questionnaire. Te presence of statistical association was determined using an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with a 95% confdence interval (CI). Variables with P values less than 0.05 were considered statically signifcant. Result.A total of 235 participants were enrolled in the study with a 99.1% response rate. Te prevalence of preeclampsia among the current pregnant women who attended ANC in Tirunesh Beijing General Hospital was 5.5% with 95% CI (AOR � 1.3–10.0). Signifcant variables such as respondents age >35years, 2.1 (AOR � 1.3–3.4), history of preeclampsia 8.5 (AOR � 1.2–10.3), history of hypertension 2.9 (AOR � 3.0–7.3), ANC visit <3 times 8.5 (AOR � 3.1–13.4), and family history of hypertension 2.2 (AOR � 1.24.3) were signifcantly associated with preeclampsia. Conclusion. A considerable proportion of pregnant women were experiencing preeclampsia. History of preeclampsia and hypertension, family history of hypertension, and maternal age were associated factors of preeclampsia. Terefore, health professionals working in health institutions give more attention to con• trolling hypertension during antenatal service. 1.Introduction Preeclampsia is a hypertensive condition common to pregnancy that usually occurs after 20 weeks of gestation and afects both the mother and the fetus. It is a multisystem pregnancy•specifc disorder happening in 3–5% of all pregnancies, and it is one of the leading causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality [1]. Severe preeclampsia commonly occurs since the second trimester of gestation and it is a serious clinical type of preeclampsia manifested by at least one of the following: persistent increase in blood pressure (≥ 160/110mmHg, proteinuria greater than 5g per 24hours, platelet count <100,000/mm 3 , haemolytic elevated liver enzymes and low platelet count (HELLP) syndrome, cerebral or visual dis• turbances, persistent severe epigastric pain or more Hindawi Advances in Public Health Volume 2023, Article ID 1132497, 5 pages https://doi.org/10.1155/2023/1132497
