Risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcome in eclampsia in a tertiary care centre.

Dr. Nandini Roy, Dr. Shalini Fusey

Abstract :

Aim: To determine the factors responsible for adverse pregnancy outcomes in eclampsia and assess the pregnancy outcome in eclampsia. Materials and methods: A prospective study was carried out for a period of 2 months which included evaluation and assessment of all cases of eclampsia admitted in the hospital. Results: The present study found that eclampsia was more common in the age group of 21 – 25 years of age (71.73%) and amongst primigravida (60.87%) with the preponderance higher in unbooked cases (54.35%) than in booked cases (45.55%), which was statistically significant with p value = 0.026 (on applying z–test). Of the 46 cases of eclampsia, 6 cases of maternal death occurred, giving an incidence of 13.04%. The correlation between the incidence of maternal mortality and the number of convulsions was found to be statistically significant with p value = 0.0087 (on applying z–test) Acute renal failure was found to be the most common maternal complication followed by disseminated intravascular coagulation, post partum hemorrhage, cereovascular episode and HELLP syndrome. Conclusion: This study helps us conclude that the leading reason for women developing eclampsia and related complications is due to lack of adequate antenatal care and awareness of importance of the same.
