PIH denotes pregnancy induced hypertension, RR denotes relative risk
^aAll RR adjusted for possible clustering effect due to sampling strategy
^bEstimate adjusted for marital status, employment, number of times ANC was attended, trimester of first antenatal visit, maternal age, parity and previous pregnancy complication
^cEstimate adjusted for marital status, employment, number of times ANC was attended trimester of first antenatal visit, maternal age, parity, previous pregnancy complication and any antenatal complication
