The purpose of this study was to observe preeclampsia prevalence based on The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) 2013 criteria for hypertension in pregnancy. This study was a cohort study with observational method in 66 pregnant women with ≥ 20 weeks gestational age and blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital. Results of this study found 63 patients were diagnosed with preeclampsia, (+) proteinuria and several abnormal laboratory results consistent with ACOG 2013 criteria. Three patients were diagnosed with preeclampsia, without proteinuria, normal laboratory results but had cerebral complaints (Cephalgia).
