305. Birth outcomes with early-and late-onset sign/symptoms of preeclampsia/eclampsia: A cross-sectional postpartum study in Bangladesh

Abstract

Introduction Early-onset of preeclampsia/eclampsia (EO-PE/E) before 34 weeks of gestation and late-onset of preeclampsia/eclampsia (LO-PE/E) after 34 weeks are associated with negative maternal and fetal health outcomes. Objective We examined birth outcomes of women admitted to the maternity unit before and after 34 weeks. Methods A total of 146 PE/E women were admitted to a tertiary hospital in Bangladesh between November 2017– March 2018; 40 women admitted before 34 weeks and 106 women after 34 weeks gestation. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used to examine birth outcomes of women admitted. Results Significantly more women admitted before 34 weeks were older (>=35 year) than those admitted after 34 weeks (15.0% vs. 7.0%, p MgSO 4 ) loading dose before and after 34 weeks from outside hospital (p Discussion Women admitted in the hospital with EO-PE/E had significantly worse birth outcomes compared to women who had admitted with LO-PE/E. Further follow-up of these women will help us to understand more details of postpartum health complications of mothers and babies.
