Objective: The objective of this research was to assess the occurrence of neonatal, fetal and maternal complications in preeclampsia. Patient and Method: We completed this cross-sectional research at Services Hospital, Lahore from February to July 2018 on a total of 200 patients. These patients were hospitalized due to preeclampsia carrying singleton fetus with a gestational age of more than twenty weeks. We did not include patients having medical complications before getting pregnant such as renal impairment, diabetes mellitus and hypertension through examination and history. We also excluded patients diagnosed with fetal congenital anomalies as observed through ultrasonography. Results: The mean age of Group – I was (25.65 ± 2.38) years and for Group – II (25 ± 2.76) years. For unbooking status 76 women (60%) were un-booked in Group – I and 60 women (82%) were un-booked in Group – II. of group-2 women were un-booked. Imminent eclampsia was reported in Group – I & II respectively as 0.78% and 33%. In terms of eclampsia in both groups Group – I and II presented respective proportions of 0.78% and 10%. Conclusion: Preeclampsia has an association with adverse obstetric outcomes and higher risks depending on the severity of preeclampsia. The neonatal, fetal and maternal outcomes can be made better with extending better antenatal care facilities among pregnant women.
