Abstract
Introduction: Eclampsia is still a significant source of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, especially in the developing world. Since there is no previous pregnancy experience and no adequate antenatal care, primigravida women are at high risk. Having examined the frequency of eclampsia in primigravida patients of tertiary care hospitals in Pakistan, this study has been performed.
Objective: To determine eclampsia's prevalence in primigravida patients and maternal and fetal outcomes.
Methods: An institutional-based observational study was conducted at Khalifa Gul Nawaz Teaching Hospital Bannu. Primigravida patients with eclampsia were the subjects of data collection. It was analyzed for maternal and fetal outcomes.
Conclusions: The results showed that a large population of patients came with severe hypertension and proteinuria. There were maternal complications such as HELLP syndrome and postpartum hemorrhage and fetal complications of preterm birth and NICU admission.
