Abstract

Background & Methods: The aim of the study is to study Preeclampsia Effect on the Fetus and Newborn. The management of pregnancies that involve early severe PE is an issue of concern and debate between obstetricians and neonatologists because expectant management can positively affect perinatal outcome but may not be safe for the mother. Results: In our study we found maximum cases in Gestational Hypertension (46%). The chi-square statistic is 0.8524. The p-value is .035888. The result is significant at p < .05. We found maximum cases, Respiratory Distress Syndrome (28%) followed by Thrombocytopenia (25%) followed by Sepsis (23%). The chi-square statistic is 1.9377. The p-value is .049617. The result is significant at p < .05. Conclusion: PE remains a major obstetric problem because it is typically an unpredictable maternal disease with variable degrees of fetal involvement. Progress has been made in understanding the complex immunologic, vascular, and genetic factors involved in the pathophysiology of the disease, but to date, such progress has not been translated into clinical practice. No significant improvement has been observed in pregnancy and perinatal outcomes. PE remains an important cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Early severe PE and IUGR deserve special attention from obstetricians and neonatologists
