Abstract
Perinatal conditions in Eclampsia are a major concern of infant injury and death in Developing countries like Bangladesh. The aim of our study was to find morbidity and mortality in eclampsia patients. This was a cross sectional observational study carried out at the Department of Gynecology & Obstetrics, Combined Military Hospital (CMH), Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from January 2021 to December 2021. One hundred and Fifty five (155) patients were selected for the study. One hundred and Fifty five mothers have delivered 161 babies (6 sets of twins). Perinatal death (PND) which included stillbirth (SB) and early neonatal death (END) was 27.32%, out of them stillbirth was 15.52% and early neonatal death was 11.8O%. Eighty four (84.47%) babies were born healthy (live birth) in present study. Maternal and fetal conditions were assessed and its relation with perinatal outcome was analyzed. Among the live born neonates (n=161) 27.94% had jaundice, 30.88% had no complication. 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.
