Maternal and Obstetrics Factors associated with Postpartum Eclampsia

Abstract This study examines neonatal and maternal outcomes in relation to blood pressure status and preeclampsia type. The analysis includes key neonatal factors such as ICU admission rates, mortality, and reasons for NICU referral. Among neonates, 18.3% were referred to the ICU, with 16.3% experiencing mortality. Physiological jaundice was the primary reason for NICU admission (77.8%), followed by aspiration (22.2%). Statistical comparisons based on maternal blood pressure and preeclampsia type showed no significant differences in NICU admission or neonatal mortality. For maternal outcomes, 91.1% of patients were discharged alive, while 8.9% experienced mortality. Cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) accounted for 80% of maternal deaths, with 20% due to pulmonary embolism. Comparisons between normotensive and hypertensive mothers, as well as between antepartum and serious preeclampsia groups, indicated no statistically significant differences in survival outcomes. These findings highlight the importance of continuous monitoring and improved management of neonatal and maternal health, particularly in cases involving hypertensive disorders and preeclampsia. Further studies are recommended to explore potential interventions that could reduce adverse outcomes.
