ABSTRACT

Background: Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is the most frequent cause of hospitalization during the first trimester of pregnancy. their predictive abilities are unknown, despite their association with grave consequences. This study's objective is to assess and pinpoint specific risk factors and consequences associated with HG in the state of North Kordofan Sudan. Methodology: Between January and August of 2023, 77 patients who had been admitted with HG were included in the study as a complete coverage sample for this descriptive, questionnaire-based study that was carried out at Elobeid Teaching Hospital. Results: Of the 77 candidates, 54.4% belonged to the 12- to 25-year-old age group, 67,3 live in rural areas, 54.3 were primigravidae, and 70 had either no education or very little education; 75% had a single fetus, 68.8% had a female fetus, 5,2% had hyperthyroidism, and 11.7% had hypothyroidism. Fifty percent of candidates had a family history of H. pylori infection, and twenty-five percent had previously been infected with the bacteria. Preterm labor ceased in 66.7 for individuals with a history of HG. Conclusion: The majority of the candidates had multiple risk factors, including being under 25 years old, having a female fetus, residing in a rural area, having a first pregnancy, and having poor educational attainment. The primary problem in the majority of HG patients is premature labor. The previously stated result no longer differs from the facts on HG risk factors and outcomes that are now accessible.
