Comparative study of maternal and foetal outcome in eclampsia and in normotensive patients
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Gynaecology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Incidence of eclampsia in pregnancy in India ranges from 0.94% to 1.8%. In all pregnancies eclampsia accounts for about 50000 maternal deaths a year worldwide.2 The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates the risk of dying due to pre-eclampsia/eclampsia as approximately 300 times higher for a woman in a developing country than for one in a developed country. Unfortunately, pre-eclampsia is not preventable, nor is its onset accurately predictable.3 Aim and Objective: 1) To compare the maternal outcome in the form of morbidity and mortality in the pregnancies associated with eclampsia with that of normotensive patients. 2) To compare the neonatal outcome in the form of morbidity and mortality in pregnancies associated with eclampsia with that of normotensive patients. Material and Methods: Study design: Type of study- The prospective study Study period: was one year from January 2013 to January 2014 Study place: A tertiary care referral centre. Sample size: 100 cases of eclampsia patients admitted to tertiary care centre, during study period were studied in comparison with 100 cases of normotensive pregnancies. Conclusion: Maternal complication and foetal complication in eclampsia cases are much higher as compare to normotensive patients in our study. Early detection of high risk individual by well trained personnel and timely referral to advanced tertiary centres, early and timely treatment of eclampsia may lead to improved maternal and foetal outcome.
