    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Perinatology
    • Clinical Pharmacology

    Context:

    • Late gestoses, including severe preeclampsia and eclampsia, represent significant risks in pregnancy.
    • Treatment protocols vary internationally, necessitating comparative analysis.
    • The Wilhelm-Pieck-University of Rostock treated 858 patients with late gestoses between 1976-1980.

    Purpose:

    • To compare therapeutic principles and drug dosages for late gestoses with international practices.
    • To analyze the effectiveness and variations in sedative-anticonvulsive and antihypertensive therapies.
    • To evaluate the maternal mortality rate associated with eclampsia.

    Summary:

    • Sedative-anticonvulsive therapy for severe preeclampsia primarily utilizes magnesium sulfate, contrasting with benzodiazepine use in England.
    • Antihypertensive drugs are typically administered for blood pressure above 160/110 mmHg, with hydralazine preferred in the USA and Rostock, while England favors methyldopa and beta-blockers.
    • Short-term plasma volume expansion with osmoonco-therapy is employed for hemoconcentration in severe cases, despite some treatment controversies.

    Impact:

    • Provides insights into international variations in managing severe pregnancy complications.
    • Highlights preferred therapeutic agents and strategies for preeclampsia and eclampsia.
    • Contributes to understanding maternal mortality trends in eclampsia, with a 2.25% rate observed from 1959-1980.
