Trends of preeclampsia/eclampsia and maternal and neonatal outcomes among women delivering in addis ababa selected government hospitals, Ethiopia: a retrospective cross-sectional study.

Abstract

There was an increasing trend of preeclampsia/eclampsia and maternal complications over a five year period in selected maternity governmental hospitals. In contrast, neonatal complications experienced a significant decrease over the five-year period. It is essential to raise awareness among mothers in the community regarding early signs and symptoms of preeclampsia/eclampsia and to design a better tracking system for antenatal care programs.
