Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Preeclampsia has remained a significant public health threat in both developed and developing countries contributing to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality globally, in spite of advancements in medical sciences. Objective: To determine the maternal outcome in pregnancies with preeclampsia. Methods: A hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted in tertiary care hospital in North Karnataka, India from June 2012 to December 2012. A pre-designed structured Performa was prepared and 85 (n=85) eligible women were interviewed to collect necessary information. The data was entered in SPSS 20 version software and analyzed for maternal outcome. Results: This study showed that preeclampsia occurs mainly in younger age group (85.90%), rural background (80%), lower socioeconomic status (69.40%), nulliparous women (60%). Labour was induced in 81.20% of the preeclampsia cases and 57.60% cases underwent LSCS. Conclusion: The younger age and first pregnancy are probable risk factors for preeclampsia. Severity of preeclampsia adversely affects the perinatal outcome, necessitating early recognition and treatment of mild preeclampsia.
