[Eclampsia. Incidence and therapy, results of the University Gynecological Clinic Göttingen].

The occurrence of eclampsia in the last two decades in the women's hospital of the University of Goettingen was evaluated. In a total of 32,578 birth there was an incidence of 0.11%. Maternal mortality was 16.2%, perinatal mortality 19.5%. 73% of the patients were primiparae, 24.3% unmarried pregnant women. A regression of the frequency of eclampsia is seen within the last 20 years and certainly due to the intensive antenatal care.
