A review of literature on pre-eclampsia/eclampsia indicates that this is one of the commonest causes of high maternal and infant mortality and morbidity rates. Current information on the condition indicates that use of aspirin, phenytoin and magnesium sulphate are on the increase. However, in Malawi lytic cocktail and use of antihypertensives such as Hydralazine and, anticonvulsants such as Valium are currently in use. Even with this type of management, Malawi experiences high morbidity and mortality rates. This literature review was done to identify baseline data for a study to be carried out in some of the hospitals in Malawi to establish a protocol for effective management of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia in Malawi. It is hoped that after using low dose aspirin and magnesium sulphate, the morbidity and mortality caused by the disease will be reversed with time.
一项关于先兆子痫/子痫的文献综述表明，这是孕产妇和婴儿高死亡率及发病率的最常见原因之一。关于该病症的现有信息表明，阿司匹林、苯妥英钠和硫酸镁的使用正在增加。然而，在马拉维，目前正在使用溶栓合剂以及诸如肼屈嗪之类的抗高血压药和诸如安定之类的抗惊厥药。即便采用这种管理方式，马拉维的发病率和死亡率依然很高。开展此项文献综述的目的是为即将在马拉维的一些医院进行的一项研究确定基线数据，以便制定一套有效管理马拉维先兆子痫和子痫的方案。人们希望，在使用低剂量阿司匹林和硫酸镁后，该疾病所导致的发病率和死亡率会随着时间的推移而得到扭转。
