IMPACT OF SOME RISK FACTORS OF PREGNANCY INDUCED HYPERTENSION IN THE UPPER EAST REGION

Pregnancy Induced hypertension (PIH) is a global concern that affect pregnant women usually after 20 weeks of gestation. It accounts for 5 to 10% of all pregnancies in relation to haemorrhage and infections. Clinicians and researchers are finding it difficult to comprehend the primary cause of this anomaly. The Upper East Region of Ghana has witnessed an upsurge in maternal mortality in 2016 and 2017 due to this precarious situation. Hence the need to investigate on some of the perceived risk factors associated with hypertension in pregnancy. Data on the obstetric history of 50 pregnant women from the Bolgatanga Regional Hospital aided the feasibility of this research. The research analysis was done using three binary classifier models namely; Logistics regression model, Probit model and Artificial Neuron Network model from STATA 12 and IBM-SPSS Statistics 20 software. The results of this research will enable us to comprehend, approach and tackle issues of gestational hypertension that are inherent to the Upper East Region.
