Abstract
Numerous studies have established a significant positive correlation between HG and the presence of H. pylori. So, this study aims to assess the effects of helicobacter pylori infection among pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum on pregnancy outcome in terms of severity of hyperemesis gravidarum, abortion rate, intrauterine growth retardation rate, iron deficiency anemia, thrombocytopenia, and preeclampsia.
This cross-sectional study was conducted on 180 pregnant females with hyperemesis gravidarum. According to the H. pylori testing results, women were assigned to one of two groups: group A: pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum, who were tested positive for the presence of
H. pylori infection and group B: pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum, who were tested negative for the presence of H. pylori infection.
There were statistical insignificant differences between study groups as regard age, parity, weight, height and BMI as p>0.05. group A had significantly higher percentage of abortion, past history of HG and family history of HG than group B with statistically significant differences as p<0.05.
group A had significantly higher mean of systolic and diastolic blood pressure than group B with statistically significant differences as p<0.001. group A had significantly lower mean of hemoglobin than group B with statistically significant differences as p<0.001. While group A had higher mean of random blood sugar than group B with statistically significant differences as p=0.014.
