Assessment of neonatal outcomes of eclamptic mothers
Dr. Diksha Sharma, Dr. Prachi Jain

Background:Preeclampsia is currently recognized as a pregnancy-specific illness that manifests as proteinuria and new-onset hypertension in a previously normotensive woman after 20 weeks of gestation. The present study was conducted to assess neonatal outcomes of eclamptic mothers. Materials & Methods:90 mothers with eclampsia or with pre-eclampsia were selected. Parameters such as parity, socio-economic status according to modified Kuppaswamy scale, weight, height, blood pressure, low birth weight, pre- term, and other neonatal outcomes was recorded. Results: Age group 17-19 years had 28, 19-21 years had 30 and 21-24 years had 32 patients. Parity 0 was seen in 65 and 1 in 25 patients. SES was upper seen in 21, middlein 30 and lower in 39. The mean weight was 40-50 kgs in 17, 50-60 kgs in 36 and 60-70 kgs in 37. The mean height was 132-140 cms in 20, 141-149 cms in 38 and 150-158 cms in 32. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). In cases and controls, the outcome was preterm in 32 and 11, low birth weight in 38 and 4, birth asphyxia in 12 and 3, intrauterine growth retardation in 7and2,hypoxicischemic encephalopathy in 4 and 1, early neonatal death in 5 and 2 and stillbirth in 3 and 1 respectively. Conclusion: To avoid and lessen major difficulties in newborns, antenatal care of eclampsia and preeclampsia is crucial. Common complications for babies born to eclamptic moms include preterm and low birth weight, intrauterine growth restriction, birth asphyxia, and an increased frequency of late preterm deliveries.
