A study of hematological profile and outcome in neonates born to mothers with pre-eclampsia and eclampsia in a rural tertiary care hospital in western Maharashtra
Abstract
Aims and objectives: To study the hematological profile and outcome of neonates born to preeclampsia and eclampsia mothers in rural tertiary care hospital.
Materials and methods: This was a hospital based descriptive type of cross-sectional study in Dr.Vitthalrao Vikhe Patil Pravara Rural Hospital, Loni. It was carried out over a period of 1 year that is from September 2022 to September 2023.All neonates born to preeclampsia and eclampsia mothers being admitted in Dr.B V P Pravara Rural Hospital were included in the study.
