The aim of this study was to compare maternal and fetal outcome between a group of eclamptic mothers who came to the tertiary care hospital directly without receiving MgSO4 (Group 1) and those referred from primary care centers after receiving loading dose of MgSO4 (Group 2). Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of eclamptic mothers who were admitted and managed from the period of 1st January 2012 to 31st March 2016 at Nepalgunj Medical College Teaching Hospital, Nepal. Sociodemographic characters and maternal and fetal outcome was compared between the two groups. Results: Among 92 cases, 57 (62%) were from Group 1 and 35 (38%) were from Group 2. Most of the mothers attended from Banke district (n=52, 56.5%) followed by Bardia district (n=17, 18.5%). Brahmin and Chhetri were 20 (35%) and 10 (29%); Muslim 16 (28%) and 4(11%); Janajati from Terai 16 (28%) and 8 (23%); Janajati from hilly region 4 (7%) and 5 (14%); and Chaudhari 1 (2%) and 8 (23%) in Group 1 and Group 2 respectively. More (n=26, 74%) mothers had baby with good Apgar score in Group 2 than in Group 1 (n=33, 58%). There were 14 (15.2%) still births; 9 (16%) in Group 1 and 5 (14%) in Group 2. Complication rate was observed more in Group 1 (n=16, 28%) than in Group 2 (n=7, 20%) and the most common complication in both groups was wound infection. The mean days of hospital stay was 5.96 (SD=3.32) and 5.91 (SD=3.38) in Group 1 and Group 2 respectively. Conclusion: The group receiving magnesium sulphate in primary care centre have good fetal outcome and less maternal complications compared to those who were admitted directly in tertiary care centre and receive the treatment there. https://jlmc.edu.np/index.php/JLMC/article/view/79eclampsiamagnesium sulphateseizuretreatment outcome |
