Correlation of Maternal and Fetal Outcome in Preeclampsia With Maternal Lipid Profile

Abstract

Introduction: Preeclampsia is a common cause for increased maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality in the developing world. Altered lipid prole is associated with preeclampsia. This study was conducted to evaluate maternal and fetal outcome in correlation with altered lipid prole. Material and Methods: A case control study was carried out during June 2016 to full May 2017 in obstetrics and gynecology department, HRH, NDMC Medical college, Delhi. Total 240 pregnant women were included in this study in which 120 normotensive pregnant women taken as control group and 120 preeclamptic women were taken as study group. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS version 21.0. Results: In our study we observed that there was increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure in relation to abnormal lipid prole. There was an increase in maternal morbidities in relation to abnormal lipid prole. Birth weight is signicantly related to severity of lipid parameters. Conclusions: Measurement of serum lipid prole should be done in pregnant women with risk of preeclampsia and other hypertensive disorders to prevent maternal, perinatal morbidity and mortality.
