“…It is worth noting that 32.6% of our study cohort reported past history of miscarriage. The proportion of pregnant women with this past pregnancy event was similar to the 29.64% documented in a previous study in South Western Nigeria15. Our data showed that previous history of abortion/miscarriage did not significantly affect the risk of developing pre-eclampsia (Table 2 and 3).…”

“…Our data showed that previous history of abortion/miscarriage did not significantly affect the risk of developing pre-eclampsia (Table 2 and 3). Similar findings have been reported in Nigeria15, with previous history of abortion having no significant effect on the hazard of pre-eclampsia (HR=1.05, 95% CI: 0.82–1.35). However, sub-group analysis showed same paternity abortion had a significant protective effect (HR=0.71, 95% CI: 0.55–0.93) on pre-eclampsia15.…”

The clinical implication of the possible epidemiologic association of previous abortion/miscarriage with development of pre-eclampsia requires further investigation.…”

“…The study done in a core Northern setting found an overall incidence of hypertensive disorder in pregnancy of 17% and incidence of pre-eclampsia was 6%14. Similarly, the cohort study done in a South Western Nigerian population focusing on the influence of duration of sexual cohabitation on the risk of hypertension in nulliparous parturient15 found an incidence of 28.93% for gestational hypertension and 4.13% for pre-eclampsia. The slight variation in the incidence of pre-eclampsia reported in the North-Western population of 6%14, the South-Western population of 4.13%15 compared to our finding of 8.8% in the North-Central population shows the diversity of our population characteristics within the country.…”

Objective: We sought to estimate the incidence and risk factors associated with development of pre-eclampsia (PET) in Jos, Nigeria.Methods: An open cohort study of singleton pregnant women attending the antenatal clinic of Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), Nigeria between November 2010 and August 2011. Eligible healthy women at ≤ 20 weeks gestation were enrolled and followed up until delivery or development of pre-eclampsia. Baseline demographic characteristics including weight, height and body mass index (BMI) were collected at enrollment. Incidence, risk factors and hazard ratios for developing PET were estimated with corresponding 95% confidence intervals and p-values. All statistical analyses were done with STATA version 11, college station, Texas, USA. Results: A total of 2416 pregnant women were screened for eligibility out of which 323 were eligible for inclusion. The incidence of PET was 87.9 per 1,000 pregnancies (8.8%). The significant risk factors for PET were previous history of PET (RR=5.1, 95% CI: 2.2-12.1) and BMI at booking ≥ 25 kg/m 2 (RR=3.9, 95% CI: 1.5-10.0). Conclusion:The incidence of PET was relatively high in our cohort in Jos, Nigeria and a previous history of the disease and overweight or obese pregnant women have a significant hazard of developing the disease in the course of gestational follow up. Targeting women with these characteristics for early preventive intervention and close surveillance at the antenatal booking clinic may help in prevention of the disease and its complications.

“…The data obtained on those studies was based on personal questionnaires that may not reflect accurately the true sperm exposure. 1,7 Pregnancies following single SD are another example for lack of exposure to the sperm before pregnancy. Donor insemination has been related to hypertensive disorder and other pregnancy complication such as increased cesarean delivery rate, 23 but this association has not been consistent in other studies that showed similar perinatal outcomes in donor versus nondonor sperm cycles.…”
