    • Abstract:
      Eclampsia is a well-recognized major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Patient's age, occupational status, socioeconomic status, educational status, regular ANC (antenatal care) and gravidity may affect the outcome of mother and foetus. The purpose of this study is to see the fetomaternal outcome in eclampsia in relationship with gravidity. This prospective observational cross-sectional study carried out among the alternate cases of primigravid and multigravid eclamptic patients. Total number of patients was 100 eclamptic patients among them, 50 patients were primigravida and 50 patients were multigravida. The study was conducted in Eclampsia unit of Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from 21 November 2011 to 20 May 2012. In this study, it was observed that ARF (acute renal failure) occurred in 6%, of these 4 cases of multigravida and 2 cases of primigravida. Cerebro vascular accident (CVA) was reported in 16 patients and 26% in multigravida and 6% in primigravid patients. HELLP (Haemolysis, Elevated liver enzymes and low platelets) syndrome developed in 25 cases of multigravida and 6 cases of primigravida. Heart failure occurred in 7% cases, out of these 6 cases were multigravida and 1 case was primigravida. Pulmonary edema was observed in 41%, among were 21 cases of multigravida and 20 cases of primigravida. Incidence of DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation) was noted in 2 cases of multigravida and 1 case of primigravida. PPH (postpartum haemorrhage) occurred in 10 cases of multigravida and 3 cases of primigravid patients. Puerperal psychosis was reported in 8% of multigravida and 4% of primigravida. Total 4% of patients expired, among them 3 cases were multigravida and 1 case was primigravida. Perinatal mortality was 21 cases in multigravida and 8 cases in primigravida. The incidence of live birth, in case of multigravida was 39 cases and primigravida 45 cases. Data were analyzed by paired student's 't' test. There was no statistically significant difference between primi and multigravida in feto-maternal outcome. This study reveals that gravidity does not alter the feto-maternal outcome in eclampsia.
