Preeclampsia is a major cause of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity worldwide causing 15% of all direct maternal deaths in UK. There is 5 fold increases in the perinatal mortality in pre eclampsia with iatrogenic prematurity being the main culprit. Various risk factors for the development of gestational hypertension and preeclampsia are present, like prematurity, multiple pregnancy, extremes of maternal age, obesity, h/o hypertension or eclampsia, medical disorders (renal, neurofibromatosis etc.). A detailed history, clinical evaluation and investigations were done for all cases. All patients were followed up until they were discharged from the hospital after delivery. The definition of hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy as defined by “working group report (2000) on high blood pressure in pregnancy” was taken for the diagnosis. The maximum number of days NICU stay was 23 days in the recurrent group for preterm care. Average number of days of NICU stay in primigravida and recurrent group was 6.07 and 7.9 days respectively. The maximum number of days of hospital stay in the primigravida and recurrent group was 20 and 23 days respectively. |
