In this study, the investigators planned to investigate maternal serum pepsinogen-1 (MSPG-1) levels in pregnant women with severe hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) and pregnant women without severe HG. HG is the most common cause of hospitalization in the first trimester of pregnancy and represents an economic burden on the healthcare system. Therefore, our aim in this study was to investigate whether there is a statistical difference in MSPG-1 levels between pregnant women with severe HG and pregnant women without severe HG and to determine a cut-off value for MSPG-1 levels for the indication of hospitalization of pregnant women with HG. The study poses no risk to the pregnant woman or the fetus.
