Neonatal Outcomes in Pre-eclampsia: An Institutional Study
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Pregnancy induced hypertension is the most common medical problem encountered in pregnancy. It complicates up to 15% of pregnancies and accounts for approximately a quarter of all antenatal admissions. It remains an important cause of maternal, and fetal, morbidity and mortality. Objectives: The study was conducted with aim of evaluating the neonatal outcomes in pregnant ladies with pre-eclampsia treated at our institute. Materials and Methods: Study is a retrospective analysis conducted at our institute from 2014 to 2015. All patients with pre-eclampsia were assessed for neonatal outcomes. Results: There were total 50 patients. The mean age was 23.4 years. There were 32 cases of mild preeclampsia as compared to 18 cases of severe pre-eclampsia. There was no maternal mortality. There were two still births (4 percent) and 48 live births (96 percent). Average birth weight was 2.3 kgs and their mean APGAR score was 7 and 8 at one and five minutes respectively. Conclusion: Low birth weight and prematurity are the main consequences of preeclampsia. An early diagnosis of the pre-eclampsia in addition to a suitable intervention is desirable for favorable outcome.
