Implication

Higher peak BP in eclampsia supports vigilant intrapartum monitoring; cohort data leave open whether pressures are causal or prognostic.

Structured PICO

Population

150 women diagnosed with toxaemia of pregnancy (11 eclampsia, 139 pre-eclampsia) at University Hospital, Uppsala in 1964-68.

Comparator

Non-toxaemic patients delivered in the clinic

Outcome

Maternal characteristics, infant complications, and blood pressure differences

Toxaemia of pregnancy is associated with increased maternal and fetal complications, with eclamptic patients exhibiting higher maximum blood pressures during delivery than pre-eclamptic patients.
