چکیده
INTRODUCTION The post-partum eclampsia occurs usually in the first 48 hours, its incidence is between 13 and 37% of all eclampsia. The goal of this prospective study was to analyse the epidemiologic data and the prognosis of this complication in the post-partum stage. MATERIALS AND METHODS We enrolled between January 1st 2000 to December 31st 2003 all eclampsia admitted to the intensive care unit of the maternity of the university hospital centre Ibn Rochd of Casablanca, Morocco. We noted for each patient epidemiologic, clinical, biological and radiologic data. We releaved outcomoe also. Two groups are individualized: 1) group 1 (N=247): when eclampsia diagnosed in the prepartum stage; 2) group 2 (N=58): when crisis diagnosed in the post-partum stage. We compared the groups (student test), p<0.05 was significative. RESULTS The incidence of eclampsia in the post-partum in this study was 19% (58 over 305). Eighty-two percent had the crisis in the first 24 hours; we noted a crisis in the sixth, seventh and lately in the sixtieth day. The major proportion of patients are nulliparous (64%), young (mean age: 24 years), without prenatal care, and has high blood pressure (48%), low GCS (mean: 12) and massive proteinuria>3 g/24 hours (37%). The post-partum eclampsia has best out come than these occurring in prepartum, with significantly (p<0.05) less high blood pressure, hellp syndrome and less placental abruption. CONCLUSION Eclampsia is still frequent in our service; it seems less bad when occurring in the post-partum stage. We must give more attention for severe preeclamptic patient in this period.
