EVALUATION OF THE HDP GESTOSIS SCORE FOR PREDICTING PREECLAMPSIA IN THE FIRST TRIMESTER OF PREGNANCY

Background and Aims: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) particularly preeclampsia, are a leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality worldwide.Despite advancements in screening, predicting preeclampsia remains a challenge, particularly in low-resource settings. The HDP Gestosis Score offers a simple, cost-effective tool to stratify risk by integrating established predictors. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of the HDP Gestosis Score in predicting preeclampsia during the first trimester.
