Author(s) Ms. Mallika Nelaturi

Abstract Introduction: According to the WHO, Global and National high-risk pregnancy is about 15% of all pregnant women are expected to develop life-threatening complications requiring skilled care. In India, the MMR stands at approximately 97 per 100,000 live births as of 2023, with wide regional variation. About 20%–30% of pregnancies in India are considered high-risk. Aim: To assess the prevalence of high-risk pregnancy among antenatal mothers at selected maternity hospital, Hyderabad, Telangana. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 99 sample of antenatal mothers from selected maternity hospital, Hyderabad. A structured interview questionnaire and Modified Coopland’s assessment tool is used to screen high-risk pregnancy. The content validity of the tool was obtained from experts. The reliability was tested using split half method. Non probability purposive sampling technique was used to collect data. The data was analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics method. Result: In the selected maternity hospital out of 99 mothers 44.4% (44) belonged to high-risk, 26.3% (26) belonged to moderate risk and 29.3% (29) belonged to low risk. The most common conditions were previous cesarean section (37.37%), anemia (33.33%), gestational hypertension (20.20%) and previous pregnancy induced hypertension/preeclampsia (20.20%). There is significant association found between high-risk factors with selected demographic variable such as religion (χ2=7.71) and monthly family income (χ2=9.035). Conclusion: The study concluded that nearly half (44.4%) of the antenatal mothers were identified as having high-risk pregnancies using the Modified Coopland's High-Risk Pregnancy Assessment Scale. Early identification, regular antenatal care, timely referral, and appropriate management are essential to improve maternal and neonatal
outcomes.
