Factors associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in sub-Saharan Africa: A systematic and meta-analysis

Although it has a high burden of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity, evidence on the risk of the problem is limited. Therefore, the aim of this review was to systematically examine factors associated with HDP among women in SSA countries.
