DOI 10.1515/jpm-2017-2007 A ONE YEAR REVIEW OF ECLAMPSIA IN AN ETHIOPIAN TERTIARY CARE CENTER (SAINT PAUL’S HOSPITAL MILLENNIUM MEDICAL COLLEGE, SPHMMC) Abdulfetah Abdulkadir Eclampsia remains one of the five major causes of maternal mortality in developing countries. Advances in diagnosis and management have led to a significant reduction in maternal mortality and morbidity from this disease in developed countries. In developing countries the incidence of maternal death attributed to eclampsia remains high and, in Ethiopia, maternal mortality from this complication has instead risen over the last decade. The purpose of this study was to review the incidence of eclampsia at the largest feto-maternal center in the country over one year in an attempt to determine what quality improvement measures are needed and could realistically be implemented within the system to decrease this complication. There were a total of 104 eclamptic patients during the study period. The hospital incidence of eclampsia was 82/10,000 deliveries excluding those arriving to the hospital in the postpartum period (28 cases). There were 8 maternal deaths making the case fatality rate 1 in 13 cases. The median convulsion to arrival time, referral to arrival time and magnesium sulphate administration time were found to be 3, 2 and 3 hours respectively.

  • Current Measures to Prevent Late Abortion Or Prematurity
    Perinatology, edited by Erich Saling, Nestle" Nutrition Workshop Series, Vol. 26, Nestec, Ltd., Vevey/Raven Press, Ltd., New York © 1992. Current Measures to Prevent Late Abortion or Prematurity Erich Saling Department of Obstetrics, Berlin-Neukolln and Institute of Perinatal Medicine, Free University of Berlin, Mariendorfer Weg 28, D-I000 Berlin 44, Germany During the past few years it has been recognized more and more that ascending genital infection is an important factor in the etiology of prematurity. This is con- firmed in a number of reports in the literature. Recent reviews have been published by Romero et al. (1) and in this volume (see chapters by Eschenbach and Hobel). In a retrospective study by Schmitz, Riedewald, Schmeling, and myself (unpub- lished) we have tried to determine the cause of prematurity in 195 cases from our unit with delivery of an infant with a birth weight of less than 2,000 g and gestation less than 37 weeks. The results (Fig. 1) show that in 76% of the cases there was evidence of an infection. This means that there was direct evidence of organisms in the vagina or cervix which are known to be pathogenic or facultative pathogenic, and/or one or more of the following: raised C-reactive protein, IgA against chlamydia (never as a single parameter), leukocytosis, left shift of granulocytes, bacteriuria, abnormal placental histology, or (in several cases) manifest infections in the newborn. In 29% there was evidence of organisms as well as other signs of infection. In 47% the above-mentioned signs of infection were present but we could not find direct evidence of organisms.
