“…He attributed these results to intensive prenatal and in-hospital monitoring for pre-eclampsia and induction of labor if the condition worsened. Similar timing for the reduction of eclamptic seizures occurred in Sweden and Denmark and was associated with increased access to prenatal care and hospitalization for delivery [33]. By contrast, Dolea and AbouZahr [14] noted in 2002 that in LICs epidemiologic studies had not shown a decline in the incidence of eclampsia in the last decade.…”

“…15 In Sweden, analysis of historical data suggested that early fall in mortality from eclampsia primarily due to improved case survival might be a result of better treatment of advanced disease. 18 The above findings can indicate low reliability of antenatal care in respect to prediction and management of obstetric problems, and this has been demonstrated in both developed and developing countries. 14 There's need for further research on factors that determine health workers' motivation.…”

To assess the ability of antenatal care to manage hypertension in pregnancy, a cross-sectional study involving 379 pregnant women was conducted in 16 randomly selected antenatal clinics in Rufiji district of Tanzania. We observed necessary structural availability, provider client interaction, interviewed women attending antenatal clinics, and measured their blood pressure. Measurements made by observers and health workers were compared. One third of the women were not checked for hypertension and health workers detected only four out of twelve women with elevated blood pressure. There was disagreement in diagnosis of blood pressure as measured by health workers and observers. Only one woman with elevated blood pressure was managed appropriately. The low quality of screening and management of hypertension in pregnancy makes it less realistic to expect any impact of antenatal care programme in reducing morbidity or mortality due to hypertension in pregnancy.

Pour évaluer la capacité de soin prénatal de traiter l'hypertension pendant la grossesse, nous avons mené une étude transversale qui a fait intervenir 379 femmes enceintes, dans 16 services de consultation prénatale selectionnés au hasard dans le district de Rufiji en Tanzanie. Nous avons remarqué la disponibilité structurale, l'interaction entre dispensateur et client, intérrogé les femmes qui allaient à la consultation prénatale et nous avons mésuré la pression artérielle. Les mesures faites par les observateurs et le personnel soignant ont été comparées. Un tiers des femmes n'ont pas été contrôlé pour l'hypertension et la personnel soignant n'ont dépisté que quatre femmes sur douze dont la pression artérielle était élévée. Il y avait une disparité entre le diagnostique de la pression artérielle faite par le personnel soignant et celui fait par les observateurs. Il n' y avait qu'une seule femme dont la pression artérielle était élevé que suivait un traitement approprié. Le bas niveau du dépistage et du traitement de l'hypertension dans la grossesse le rendent moins pratique de s'attendre à un impact quiconque de programme de service de consultation prénatale sur la reduction de la morbidité ou de la mortalité occasionnée par l'hypertension pendant la grossesse.

“…107 Large-scale projects are needed to assess the feasibility and eff ect of balanced energyprotein supplementation, and develop alternative methods to address food insecurity in household settingseg, conditional cash transfers versus food supplements, and delivery of calcium through food fortifi cation. Consonant with the recorded reduction in maternal mortality with the development of midwifery services, often ambulatory, 108 fi ndings of our report suggest that a substantial proportion of interventions can be delivered through outreach workers and ambulatory services. A conservative estimate suggests that such delivery could avert about 280 000 stillbirths (11%; fi gure 4).…”
