Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal Health
  • Perinatology

Background:

  • Eclampsia is a severe neurological complication of pregnancy.
  • It significantly contributes to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.
  • Understanding its impact is crucial for improving obstetric care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the mortality rate associated with eclampsia.
  • To assess the incidence of stillbirths in deliveries involving eclamptic mothers.
  • To highlight the burden of eclampsia on maternal and infant outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 489 cases of eclampsia.
  • Analysis of maternal mortality data.
  • Assessment of perinatal outcomes, specifically stillbirth rates.

Main Results:

  • A total of 489 women with eclampsia were analyzed.
  • Eclampsia accounted for 4% of the reviewed cases but 16% of total maternal mortality.
  • A significant 33% of all hospital births in this cohort resulted in stillbirths.

Conclusions:

  • Eclampsia represents a substantial cause of maternal mortality.
  • The condition is strongly associated with high rates of stillbirth.
  • Improved management and prevention strategies for eclampsia are urgently needed.
