Introduction Identifying pregnancy-related complications and high-risk pregnancies early on and effectively managing care for these pregnant women through a holistic approach guided by the main objectives of antenatal care (ANC) and efficient, good-quality health care through ANC services can reduce the risk of pregnancy-related complications, being favourable for both mother and child. This study was intended to identify the percentage of pregnant women in high-risk groups attending ANC clinics. Objective This study's aim was to understand the prevalence of high-risk pregnancies in women attending ANC camps in Kinaye and Vantamuri villages in Belagavi, India. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was carried out in a primary healthcare (PHC) setting that included all pregnant women attending antenatal camps and residing in the same areas. With a total study sample size of 200, consisting of pregnant women attending ANC camps in Kinaye and Vantamuri PHC, the data were collected using a pre-tested, pre-designed questionnaire after obtaining written informed consent from the participating pregnant women. Results The data were analysed using a chi-square test to uncover the relationship between socio-demographics, obstetric history, medical variables, and high-risk pregnancy. The results demonstrated that 48.5% of women attending ANC clinics were in the high-risk pregnancy group. Conclusion Pregnancy outcomes are greatly affected by a woman's socio-demographic, obstetric, and medical variables. The WHO recommends a minimum of four ANC visits to safely identify and mitigate the risks and complications of high-risk pregnancy to ensure positive outcomes for both mothers and children.
引言 尽早识别与妊娠相关的并发症和高危妊娠，并通过以产前保健（ANC）的主要目标为指导的整体方法，有效地管理这些孕妇的护理，并通过ANC服务提供高效、优质的医疗保健，可以降低与妊娠相关并发症的风险，对母亲和孩子都有利。本研究旨在确定参加ANC诊所的高危组孕妇的百分比。
目的 本研究的目的是了解在印度贝拉尔加维Kinaye和Vantamuri村参加ANC营地的妇女中高危妊娠的患病率。
方法 在初级卫生保健（PHC）机构开展了一项基于社区的横断面研究，纳入了所有参加产前营地并居住在同一地区的孕妇。研究总样本量为200，由参加Kinaye和Vantamuri初级卫生保健中心ANC营地的孕妇组成，在获得参与孕妇的书面知情同意后，使用预先测试、预先设计的问卷收集数据。
结果 使用卡方检验分析数据，以揭示社会人口统计学、产科病史、医学变量与高危妊娠之间的关系。结果表明，参加ANC诊所的妇女中有48.5%属于高危妊娠组。
结论 妇女的社会人口统计学、产科和医学变量对妊娠结局有很大影响。世界卫生组织建议至少进行四次ANC检查，以安全地识别和减轻高危妊娠的风险和并发症，确保母亲和孩子都有良好的结局。
