Filter by:Preeclampsia is the main cause of illness and death in pregnant women and fetuses. Currently, there is no effective treatment for preeclampsia in clinical practice, and the fundamental treatment is still termination of pregnancy and placental delivery. Therefore, early prediction of preeclampsia and targeted strengthening of high-risk pregnant women supervision, early intervention and diagnosis and treatment can greatly reduce the serious obstetric complications and perinatal maternal and fetal deaths caused by preeclampsia, which has significant social and clinical significance.
The goal of this study is to generate unique information to guide improvements on interventions to reduce maternal and newborn mortality as well as prevent stillbirths. The objective of this study is to determine the burden, timing, and causes of maternal deaths, stillbirths and neonatal deaths. This will be an observational study where data will be collected retrospectively in the context of the ongoing study in Haryana, India. Women of reproductive age living in the study area have already been enumerated for the parent studies. Active surveillance is being conducted for identifying pregnancies and deaths among women of reproductive age in the population through 3 monthly home visitations. Verbal autopsies will be conducted for all deaths of women in the reproductive age, including those who died in pregnancy, childbirth and up to 42-60 days after childbirth. Verbal autopsy interviews will also be conducted for all stillbirths.
