[Eclampsias have declined in Finland between 2006 and 2010]
Background:
We surveyed the occurrence of eclampsia in Finland since the time when the use of magnesium sulfate became more common.
Materials And Methods:
We found a total of 46 persons with eclampsia diagnosis from two registers between 2006 and 2010.
Results:
The occurrence of eclampsia was 1.5/10 000 childbirths. None of the mothers died, but severe complications occurred in 76% of the cases.
Conclusions:
The decline in occurrence of eclampsia, recurrence of seizures and severe prolonged complications in Finland is likely to be partly associated with the increased use of magnesium sulfate. Some risk patients continue to remain undetected.
