Abstract

Objective: to identify the defining characteristics and related factors of Gestational Hypertensive Syndromes.
Method: longitudinal retrospective study performed at a high-risk prenatal health center in a city in the west of Santa
Catarina in 2016. The inclusion criteria were singleton pregnancy that did not result in miscarriage of intrauterine fetal
death, date of last menstrual period between January and December 2015 and diagnosis of Gestational Hypertensive
Syndrome. SPSS software, version 20.0 was used in data analysis. Results: 90 medical records were analyzed, and the
defining characteristics of the diagnoses were revealed by high blood pressure and the presence of proteinuria. The
related factors were maternal age, weight gain, body mass index, history of hypertensive diseases, number of prenatal
consultations and use of antihypertensive medication. Conclusion: the characteristics that more accurately predict the
occurrence of the diagnosis investigated and the reduction of the severe forms of the disease were identified.
