title: The incidence of pregnancy induced hypertension in southeast Turkey.
abstract: One hundred twenty patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) were delivered during 1986. The incidence of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, per 1000 births, was 103 and 19, respectively. Two-thirds of eclamptics were nulliparous and three-quarters were less than 25 years of age. All patients with eclampsia had convulsions before admission. Although maternal mortality was 4% in patients with pre-eclampsia and 0% in those with eclampsia, the fetal mortality rate was 32% in pre-eclamptic and 60% in eclamptic patients.
