title: [Factors associated to maternal mortality among preeclamptic parturients. About 55 cases].
abstract: Retrospective study about 55 preeclamptic parturients. Data was collected from the medical files of the patients hospitalized during two consecutive years. Admittance of preeclamptic women in the intensive care unit was 6,37 % (55/689). Mortality rate was 11% (6 deaths). Complications associated with the maternal death were renal failure, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy and Hemorrhagic shock after subcupsular liver hematoma. Advanced maternal age is a factor associated to maternal mortality. All these risk factors of death may be avoided if adequate management was performed.
