    Summary

    Eclampsia in Sweden is rare, with distinct characteristics and outcomes for preterm versus term births. Preterm eclampsia presents with symptoms, high mortality, and complications, while term eclampsia is often sudden with favorable outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Perinatal Medicine
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

    Background:

    • Eclampsia is a severe complication of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy.
    • Understanding the clinical variations between preterm and term eclampsia is crucial for management.
    • Sweden has a well-documented birth registry allowing for large-scale epidemiological studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of eclampsia in relation to gestational age at delivery.
    • To determine the incidence of eclampsia in a large Swedish birth cohort.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of current antenatal care protocols in detecting pre-eclampsia leading to eclampsia.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 480,969 births in Sweden between 1976 and 1980.
    • Identification and comparison of clinical features, maternal complications, perinatal outcomes, and mortality in women with preterm (<37 weeks) versus term (≥37 weeks) eclampsia.
    • Calculation of eclampsia incidence and assessment of prior hypertension diagnosis in relation to antenatal visit frequency.

    Main Results:

    • A total of 74 eclampsia cases were identified, with an incidence of 29/100,000 births, the lowest reported.
    • Preterm eclampsia was associated with preceding symptoms, small-for-gestational-age infants, high perinatal mortality, and maternal complications, including the sole maternal death.
    • Term eclampsia often occurred unexpectedly, with generally normal-sized infants and favorable maternal/infant outcomes, though hospital stays were longer.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinical presentation and outcomes of eclampsia significantly differ between preterm and term gestations.
    • The low incidence and late diagnosis in fewer than half of cases suggest current antenatal surveillance may not be improved by simply shortening visit intervals.
    • Eclampsia remains a serious condition requiring vigilant monitoring, even with regular antenatal care.
