Abstract

Background

Suppression of the body's immune system can cause high blood pressure. Also, many people with COVID-19 have underlying diseases, including high blood pressure.

Aim

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of COVID-19 infection on blood pressure caused by pregnancy in women referred to Kashani Hospital in Jiroft City.

Methods

This study was a case-control study with a census sampling method on 266 pregnant women referring to Kashani Hospital in Jiroft City in 2021-2022. Pregnant women were divided into two control groups (pregnant women without COVID-19) and intervention (pregnant women with COVID-19). SPSS software version 22 was analyzed.

Results

266 pregnant women participating in the study were divided into two equal control (133) and intervention (133) groups. The average age of pregnant women was 29 ± 6.8 years. The average systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the intervention group was 112.6 and 70, and in the control group, it was 107.8 and 66.6, which was not statistically significant (_Value>0.05). Also, the results showed that there was a difference between home blood pressure during pregnancy and there is a statistically significant relationship between the age of pregnant women (_Value<0.05). While there is no significant statistical relationship between gestational age and body mass index (_Value>0.05).

Conclusion

According to the results of this study, COVID-19 affects blood pressure caused by pregnancy, and gestational age is an important factor in the prevalence of high blood pressure in women with COVID-19.
