    Summary

    Eclampsia is a leading cause of maternal death. This study identified risk factors including older age, chronic hypertension, and multisystemic disease manifestations in women with eclampsia.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Maternal Health
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Context:

    • Eclampsia is a significant contributor to maternal mortality.
    • A retrospective analysis of maternal deaths was conducted.
    • 37 cases of eclampsia were analyzed from 1991-1995.

    Purpose:

    • To define the clinical, social, and demographic profiles of pregnant women at risk of fatality due to eclampsia.
    • To identify key characteristics associated with eclampsia-related maternal deaths.

    Summary:

    • Eclampsia accounted for 52.1% of maternal deaths in the study period.
    • Affected women were 26 years old on average, 46% primigravid, and 20% had chronic hypertension.
    • Key clinical signs included severe headache, vomiting, convulsions, hypertension, and proteinuria; hematologic, hepatic, and neurologic involvement were noted.

    Impact:

    • Identifies high-risk profiles for eclampsia, enabling targeted interventions.
    • Highlights the multisystemic nature of severe eclampsia.
    • Informs clinical practice and public health strategies to reduce eclampsia-related maternal mortality.
