Neonatal Outcomes of Eclamptic Mothers in a Tertiary Government Rural Teaching Hospital of Eastern India: A Prospective, Cross-sectional, Observational, and Epidemiological Study | Chapter 8 | Research Highlights in Disease and Health Research Vol. 7

 There are very few studies transported on the neonatal outcomes of eclamptic daughters in a rural sociodemographic situation dominant in India. In view of this, the objective of this study search out identify as well as to evaluate the importance of neonatal consequences of eclamptic mothers in a country community. Thus, a prospective, cross-divided, observational, and epidemiological study was transported on two statistically matched groups in a after second care government teaching hospital providing rural agro-located population of Eastern India during April 2012–March 2013. One group of study contained neonates born to 100 ensuing eclamptic mothers, while the additional included neonates delivered to 100 non-eclamptic (control) inventors.  The majority of eclamptic founders were unbooked, primigravidae (86%), in late teens (66%), owned by socioeconomic Class IV (92%) of modified Kuppuswamy scale (2007). About 72% of neonates were born with individual or more adverse neonatal effects (p<0.001). Neonatal outcomes as observed in this place study were prematurity (40%, p=0.001), low beginning weight (LBW) (60%, p<0.001), intrauterine progress restriction (IUGR) (12%, p=0.032), and birth daze (33%, p=0.016), while hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, early-onset infection of blood, early neonatal death, and stillbirth were not establish to be statistically significant. Late preterm births were likewise significant (p=0.004). This study justifies that eclampsia is a significant cause of considerable neonatal depression in terms of preterm, LBW, IUGR, and beginning asphyxia in the country population. It is identified as a solid risk factor for late preterm transmittal as well.
