Abstract
Background: Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific hypertensive syndrome associated with significant morbidity and mortality in mother and neonate. It is the 3rd leading cause of maternal mortality and is responsible for 15- 20% of maternal mortality and is a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Objective: The objective of this study was the effects of pre-eclampsia associated with maternal complications, pregnancy outcome and neonatal complications. Materials and Methods: A hospital based descriptive observational study was conducted from July to December 2017.All pre-eclampsia associated with complications were included. Data obtained that included maternal age, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, gestational age at diagnosis, gestational age at delivery, associated maternal complications, pregnancy outcome, mortality, birth-weight and neonatal complications. Results: The mean parity was higher in the normotensive group than in the preeclamptic patients (2.3+0.65 vs 3.6+0.74;p =<0.05 ).cesarian section rates were significantly higher in the group with preeclampsia than in the control group, in the preeclamptic women undergoing vaginal delivery,31% of them underwent induction of labour. The most common complication associated with preeclampsia is eclampsia (21%). The most common indication for induction of labour was severity of pre eclampsia among the patients 9% of them were admitted with intra uterine demise, while 91 neonates survived. The most common causes of neonatal mortality were congenital abnormalities and respiratory distress syndrome. Conclusion: Gestational age, parity, cesarean section rate, the rate of induced labor, and low birth weight neonates were more frequent in pre-eclamptic women than in healthy pregnant women
