Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Gynaecology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Eclampsia is a fatal disorder among pregnant women. Throughout the world, eclampsia remains an important cause of maternal mortality, accounting about 50,000 deaths worldwide. Preeclampsia and eclampsia occur much more commonly in nullipara and appear typically with minimal or no warning. Unfortunately, preeclampsia is not preventable, nor is its onset accurately predictable. Material and Methods: A retrospective observational study was carried out in the Patane Hospital Aurangabad [MS], India from January 2012 to December 2016. All cases of eclampsia diagnosed during that period were included in the study. For analysis of this data SPSS (Statistical Software for social Sciences) software version 20th was used. Qualitative was represented in form values and percentages. Results: Total number of deliveries was 1526 and the number of eclampsia patients during the same period was 94 giving an incidence of 6.17%. The incidence of age ≤ 20 years 20 years cases were having 7.36% which was comparatively more than above 20 years of age. Those who were at ≥37 weeks of gestation constituted 12 (12.76%). Maximum 69 (73.40%) cases were antepartum eclampsia, 3 (3.19%) were intrapartum eclampsia and 22 (23.40%) cases were postpartum eclampsia. There were no maternal deaths in our study duration of eclampsia.
