Abstract: Background: Severe pre-eclampsia remains a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Early identification and optimal management are essential to improve outcomes.
Objective: To evaluate maternal and perinatal outcomes in women diagnosed with severe pre-eclampsia and to identify associated complications.
Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on pregnant women diagnosed with severe pre-eclampsia admitted to a tertiary care hospital. Maternal demographic characteristics, clinical features, laboratory parameters, mode of delivery, maternal complications, and perinatal outcomes were recorded and analyzed.
Results: Severe pre-eclampsia was associated with high rates of cesarean delivery, maternal complications such as eclampsia, HELLP syndrome, and postpartum hemorrhage. Perinatal outcomes included increased incidence of preterm birth, low birth weight, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions, and perinatal mortality.
Conclusion: Severe pre-eclampsia significantly impacts maternal and perinatal outcomes. Early diagnosis, timely intervention, and multidisciplinary management are critical in reducing adverse outcomes.
