Objectives: Observation and analysis of the risk factors associated with preeclampsia and eclampsia and its effect on maternal and fetal outcome. It is a prospective study where 500 diagnosed Methods: cases of preeclampsia and eclampsia were recruited after taking informed consent. Data collected on the basis of detailed history and clinical evaluation. The maximum number of preeclampsia and eclampsia in the present series occurred Result: between the age group 21 to 25 years (46%). Majority of cases (71.4%) in our study presented between 35.1 to 40 weeks of gestational age. 24.4% cases had BMI in range of 25-29.9. 51.4% women were primipara and 53.2% cases were unbooked. Majority of the cases (45.2%) belonged to the upper lower socio-economic class. Out of 500 cases, 23.2% had anaemia, followed by hypothyroidism in 14.8% cases, GDM in 3.8% cases, obesity 2.8% cases, chronic hypertension in 2.2% cases, diabetes mellitus in 2% cases, and PCOD in 0.4 % cases. Risk factors found in our study that affected maternal and perinatal outcome severely were: primiparity, unbooked status, lower middle class III and upper lower class IV, BMI>24.9, gestational age < 34 weeks, anaemia, hypothyroidism and chronic hypertension and gestational diabetes mellitus. Our study reveals Conclusion: that if patients present with multiple risk factors (three and more), maternal morbidity and mortality increased signi?cantly.
