Complications in premature labor between severe preeclampsia and normal pregnancies.

Abstract

Severe Preeclampsia may lead to liver and renal failure, Disseminated Intravascular Coagulopathy (DIC) and Central Nervous System (CNS) abnormalities. This study aimed at comparing of infant complication in premature labor between severe preeclampsia and normal pregnancies. In this analytical-descriptive study, one hundred pregnant with severe preeclampsia and premature delivery due to severity of preeclampsia were compared with one hundred cases of premature delivery without preeclampsia to study neonatal fate. The understudy subjects were divided into five age groups of 27-28, 29-30, 31-32, 33-34, 35-36 weeks considering type of delivery, neonate features and neonatal complications related to premature delivery. Mean age of mothers of normal delivery group was 27.28 +/- 5.42 mean age of mothers of the second group was 30.56 +/- 5.86. There was statistically meaningful difference between two groups of delivery regarding patients' systolic blood pressure (p < 0.001). The study made it clear that there was not statistically meaningful difference between two groups of delivery regarding fetus age (in weeks) at the time of delivery (p = 0.456). According to findings of this study, neonatal complications and mortality is high in preeclampsia due to stressful conditions created for the fetus.
