- Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To compare perinatal complications in patients with eclampsia, HELLP syndrome and association. MATERIALS AND METHODS: a cross-sectional, comparative study conducted in women with eclampsia and / or HELLP syndrome and their perinates in Hospital Regional Docente de Cajamarca, Peru. Data obtained from 01/01/2015 to 12/31/15. Information processing was carried out with the Epi Info program version 7. The ANOVA and non-parametric 2 with Kruskal-Wallis were used to compare groups, and a value of P <0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: 71 women had eclampsia and / or HELLP syndrome of 3411 births. Perinatal complications such as prematurity, lower weight and height at birth and lower Apgar were significantly higher in HELLP syndrome than in eclampsia. Regarding prematurity, there were 30 (66.6%) in HELLP syndrome, 14 (70%) in eclampsia associated with HELLP syndrome and none in eclampsia (p = 0.01). Birth weight was 2133.5 ± 66.7 g in HELLP syndrome and 3083.1 ± 67.8 g in eclampsia (p = 0.001). Apgar was lower at minute and at 5 minutes in the combination eclampsia and HELLP syndrome than in eclampsia alone (p = 0.002). There were no significant differences in mortality, IUGR, neonatal asphyxia, transient tachypnea, hyaline membrane disease, necrotizing enterocolitis, polycythemia, pathological jaundice or sepsis. The rate of cesareans in HELLP syndrome was 41 (91.1%) and in eclampsia 4 (66.6%) (p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: Perinatal complications are greater in HELLP syndrome than in eclampsia.
