Abstract

Hyperemesis gravidarum is a complex condition with a multifactorial etiology characterized by severe intractable nausea and vomiting. Despite a high prevalence, studies exploring underlying etiology and treatments are limited. We performed a literature review, focusing on articles published over the last 10 years, to examine current perspectives and recent developments in hyperemesis gravidarum.

Keywords: adverse pregnancy outcomes; antiemetics; hyperemesis gravidarum; nausea; pregnancy; vomiting in pregnancy.
