A PROSPECTIVE STUDY OF MATERNALAND FETAL OUTCOME IN
PREECLAMPSIAAND ECLAMPSIA
Introduction- Pre eclampsia and eclampsia is one of the leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. This study was undertaken to correlate coagulation prole in patients with pre-eclampsia and eclampsia with maternal and fetal outcome. Materials And Methods- A prospective study was conducted on 164 cases and 70 controls over a period of 2 years. The coagulation prole was carried out on the semiautomated TRINITY coagulometer. The haematological parameters were assessed on fully automated 3 part haematological analyser- TRIVITRON Model-CELLENIUM-19. The patients were classied into mild preeclamptic, severe preeclamptic and eclamptic based on the clinical and haematological parameters. Observations- The maternal and the foetal outcomes were studied and correlated with the coagulation prole. All the cases of mild preeclampsia had favourable maternal and fetal outcome. Out of total 102 cases of severe preeclampsia and eclampsia, 78 had normal coagulation prole and 24 had deranged prole. Thus out of 24 patients with deranged coagulation prole, 21 (87.5%) women had adverse maternal outcome and 24 (100%) had unfavourable fetal outcome. Conclusion- Deranged coagulation prole in preeclampsia and eclampsia is signicantly associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcome. Thus suspecting a deranged coagulation status early in the course of the disease will guide us in management before the patient goes into complications.
