Expectant management of severe preeclampsia before 34 weeks of pregnancy in rural Indian hospital
Maternal and perinatal outcome of expectant management was studied in 52 women with severe preeclampsia admitted between 24–34 weeks of gestation. Pregnancies could be prolonged by an average of 9 days and the average birth weight was 1238 g (SD 338). The overall perinatal survival was 85.4% and it was 66% among babies weighing less than 1000 g suggesting that use of expectant management for preterm severe preeclampsia is feasible in the Indian setup.
