participants. The average age of women with preeclampsia was 34.3 (±3.72) years. The study revealed a statistically
significant relationship with age (p=0.015), nationality (p=0.046), the presence of chronic hypertension (p=0.001), presence
of interval between pregnancy (p=0.034), a history of Dopegit intake (p=0.014), and the development of preeclampsia.
