Preeclampsia (PE), one of the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), is the onset of hypertension accompanied with proteinuria that occurs after 20th week of gestation. It is a syndrome of worldwide distribution, that complicates up to 10% of pregnancies and remain as the major cause of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity [1, 13]. Multiple conditions have been associated with an increased risk for PE like maternal age, nulliparity, previous preeclampsia, obesity, hypertension, among others. In this study, a logistic regression model was performed in order to estimate the main risk factors for PE and others HDP.
