Clinical presentation, maternal-fetal, and neonatal outcomes of early-onset versus late onset preeclampsia-eclampsia syndrome in a teaching hospital in a low-resource setting: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pre-eclampsia-eclampsia syndrome remains the leading cause of maternal and neonatal mortality worldwide. Both from pathophysiologic and clinical stand points, early and late onset preeclampsia are thought to be two different disease entities. However, the magnitude of preeclampsia-eclampsia and maternal-fetal and neonatal outcomes of early and late onset preeclampsia are not adequately investigated in resource-limited settings. This study sought to examine the clinical presentation and maternal-fetal and neonatal outcome of these two entities of the disease in Ayder comprehensive specialized hospital, an academic setting in Tigray, Ethiopia, from January 1, 2015-December 31, 2021.

Methods

A retrospective cohort design was employed. The patient charts were reviewed
