Özet

Aim: Hyperemesis gravidarum affects 2.5% of pregnant woman and is characterized by persistent vomiting, weight loss of more than 5%, dehydration, ketonuria, and electrolyte abnormalities. Currently, there is no consensus on its definition, and there is no single, widely used set of criteria for diagnosing hyperemesis gravidarum. The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of point-of-care ketone blood tests in diagnosing hyperemesis gravidarum.
