Eclampsia management in 1988 showed high maternal and perinatal loss, particularly in young mothers lacking antenatal care. Timely cesarean sections may improve outcomes for eclampsia patients.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Eclampsia is a severe complication of pregnancy.
  • High rates of maternal and perinatal mortality associated with eclampsia have been reported globally.
  • Understanding risk factors and outcomes is crucial for improving obstetric care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the incidence, characteristics, and outcomes of eclampsia cases.
  • To identify factors contributing to maternal and perinatal loss in eclampsia.
  • To evaluate potential strategies for improving maternal outcomes in eclampsia.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 44 mothers with eclampsia and their newborns managed in 1988.
  • Data collected on maternal demographics, gestational age, antenatal care, and delivery outcomes.

  • Calculation of incidence, maternal mortality, and perinatal loss rates.

    • Main Results:

    • Eclampsia incidence was 2.2% of hospital deliveries.
    • Higher incidence observed in mothers <20 years, at ≤36 weeks gestation, and without antenatal care.
    • Maternal mortality was 31.8%, and perinatal loss was 38.6%.

    Conclusions:

    • Lack of antenatal care and late referral contributed to high eclampsia-related mortality and morbidity.
    • Timely cesarean section is suggested as a method to improve maternal outcomes in eclampsia.
