The Data collection method was done through referring to the existing cases in Fatemiyeh Hospital, and extracting the information related to patients with Preeclampsia and without Preeclampsia. Thus, 726 pregnant with Preeclampsia were included in case group and the same number of pregnant without Preeclampsia were put in the control group. Then the required data was collected through a researcher made questionnaire. SPSS 21 software and chi-square test and logistic regression were used to analyze the data. Significance level was considered lower than 0.05. Majority of women in case and control group were at the age range of 39 -40 years old. Findings of the current study showed that there is a significant relationship between the occurrence of Preeclampsia and increasing age, low Apgar score in infant, history of previous blood pressure, first pregnancy and delivery, and male gender (P<0.05). As there is a relationship between the occurrence of Preeclampsia and increasing age, the history of prior blood pressure, null parity and the male gender, that was important that the necessary measurements to recognize the pregnant exposed to the risk were considered to control and prevent.
