Obstetric Outcome in Preeclampsia

Objectives: The aim is to study the effect of preeclampsia on the maternal and fetal outcome in Government General Hospital, Anantapuram. Materials and methods: This is an observational study conducted in Government General Hospital, Anantapuram (A.P). The study was carried out during the period of six months from April 2021 to September 2021. A total of 100 pregnant women with preeclampsia were included in the study. Results: Among the 100 preeclampsia patients, 43 (43%) cases were primigravida, 32(32%) belonged to socioeconomic class 4, 42 (42%) cases were among those with BMI greater than25. The most common maternal complication is antepartum haemorrhage 15 (15%) and the most common neonatal complication is prematurity 28 (28%). Conclusion: Treating anemia and improving socio economic status will improve maternal and neonatal outcome in preeclampsia. Prematurity, low birth weight and growth restriction are neonatal complications to be anticipated and dealt with when the mother has preeclampsia. A good neonatal intensive care unit will help to improve neonatal outcome.
