Perinatal Outcome in Pre-Eclampsia: A Prospective Study
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Preeclampsia is one of the common conditions of unknown etiology which increases the risk of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The aim of the study was to determine the neonatal outcome in babies born to preeclamptic patients. A prospective study was carried out in the department of OBG, SNMC &HSK Hospital and Research centre from Jan 2012 to June 2012.The study included all patients of preeclampsia -BP≥140/90 mm Hg and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation. Necessary information was collected such has detailed history, clinical examination, investigation performed, mode of delivery and neonatal outcome. In our study overall incidence of preeclampsia is 8.3%. Prematurity was the common complication seen in 46.6% of cases. 17.4% of babies born to these women died, for a perinatal mortality rate (PMR)of 174/1000births.PMR increased as the BP increased. It was 6.3% for BP 140/90 to 149/94, to 23.4% at BP >160/110 and above. Low birth weight (LBW) was common in preeclampsia. APGAR score at 5min was <7 in 38.6% of cases. Preeclampsia has adverse perinatal outcome. The various complications are low APGAR score, IUD, LBW and high NICU admissions. Based on these findings neonatal morbidity and mortality can be reduced by early recognition and institutional management of preeclampsia. Keywords: Preeclampsia, Perinatal outcome, LBW, APGAR score
