    Journal: Hypertens Pregnancy; 2014 Aug; 33(3):291-8. PubMed ID: 24392861.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between neck circumference (NC) and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) in the third trimester pregnant women. METHODS: The study included 126 women who were in the third trimester pregnancy. All subjects completed a standard sleep questionnaire, anthropometric measurements and ultrasonic testing. RESULTS: Pregnant women with NC ≥34.7 cm had significantly higher frequency of PIH than pregnant women with NC <34.7 cm (35.6% versus 2.5%, χ(2 )= 25.863, p = 0.000). CONCLUSIONS: The increase of NC was independent risk factor for PIH in the third trimester pregnant women.
