PERINATAL OUTCOMES IN WOMEN WITH SEVERE PREECLAMPSIA

Abstract

Hypertensive conditions are the most common complication of pregnancy, adversely affecting the outcome of pregnancy and childbirth for the mother and fetus [3]. The incidence of severe preeclampsia ranges from .2% to 6%, according to various authors, and is one of the causes of maternal and perinatal mortality [1]. In addition, preeclampsia is the cause of severe morbidity and disability in mothers and children [4]. The danger of this complication is that it is not completely cured after the end of pregnancy. Women who have had PE have an increased risk of developing hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, and even cancer. [5] With severe PE, fetal development is delayed and the course of the disease requires early delivery. Children born to mothers with PE are more prone to hypertension, stroke, diabetes, metabolic disorders, neurological and mental disorders [2].
