Journal Title: Perspectives In Medical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
contributor for the maternal deaths in the developing world. The risk that a woman will die of preeclampsia or eclampsia in a developing country is 300 times more than that a woman in a developed country.1 Also the adverse perinatal outcome makes it an important disorder to be prevented. The National Eclampsia Registry (FOGSI – ICOG initiative) reports a prevalence of eclampsia at 1.9% among the registry patients.2 The numbers of cases of eclampsia were found to be greater than severe preeclampsia points out to the fact that opportunities were lost in the prevention of eclampsia.
