[Analysis of eclampsia cases of the years 1957-1982 at the University Gynecologic Clinic in Leipzig].
Of the total of 104 873 patients who have been delivered between 1957 and 1982, 99 women (0.094 per cent) were diagnosed as having eclampsia. Maternal lethality was 4.0 per cent, and perinatal lethality was 20.8 per cent. Delivery was spontaneous in 34.3 per cent, and caesarean section, vacuum extraction, and forceps delivery were performed in 45.5 per cent, 8.1 per cent and 12.1 per cent respectively. The incidence of eclampsia decreased generally. The prognosis for both mother and fetus could be improved by modern methods of intensive care in close connection with termination of pregnancy.
