In Ethiopia, pre‐eclampsia causes 16% of direct maternal deaths. Despite the high burden of disease, pre‐eclampsia remains poorly studied in low and middle‐income countries. In this study, we aimed to identify risk factors for pre‐eclampsia in pregnant women attending hospitals in the Omo district of Southern Ethiopia. Data were collected via face‐to‐face interviews. Logistic regression analysis was computed to examine the relationship between the independent variable and pre‐eclampsia. An adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) excluding 1 in the multivariable analysis was considered to identify factors associated with pre‐eclampsia at a p‐value of
