Introduction: A perinatal condition in eclampsia is a major concern of infant injury and death in developing countries like Bangladesh. Eclampsia is the commonest cause of convulsions in pregnancy next being epilepsy. So proper initiatives against eclampsia can save many lives by decreasing the total mortality as well as the morbidity of child and mother. Aim of the study: The aim of our study was to assess the perinatal mortality and morbidity which are related to eclampsia. Methods: This was a cross sectional observational study carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in 250 Bedded General Hospital, Pabna, Bangladesh during the period from June 2016 and July 2016. Proper written consent form all the participants were obtained and the ethical committee of the hospital had approved the study before starting the intervention. In total 178 pregnant women with eclampsia were finalized as the study population. Result: In our study we found in total 148 live births from total 178 mothers which were 83.15% against total study population. Among all the babies 139 were survived which was 93.91% among total live births. Death after birth was 9 in number which was 6.08% among total live births. Early neonatal death was 13 in number which was 7.3% against total mothers. Stillbirths were 16 in number which was 9% against total mothers. In perinatal complication analysis we found 42 babies with jaundice which was 28.38% among live births. Babies with septicemia were 28 (18.92%), with respiratory distress 25 (16.89%), with neonatal convulsion were 7 (4.73%) and with no complication were 46 (31.08%). Conclusion: In the conclusion, we can say that, Stillbirth is the main component of perinatal death and prematurity is an important cause of perinatal loss in eclampsia. So, early referral of eclampsia patients, early resuscitative measures and good neonatal care can improve perinatal outcome.
