OBJECTIVE: To measure the incidence of @entity3036 , its maternal and perinatal outcomes and patterns of presentation of this disease in our environment. METHOD: Retrospective descriptive study of 164 cases of @entity3036 managed at the Hospital Universitario del Valle, Cali, Colombia from September 1993 to August 1995. Information was collected from reviews of hospital case-notes. RESULTS: The incidence of @entity3036 was 8.1/1000 deliveries. Maternal mortality was 6.1%. Fifty-seven percent of @entity410 occurred antepartum, 22% during labor, and 21% after delivery. Sixty-nine cases (42%) presented preterm. Ninety-eight @entity1 (60%) were nulliparous. Approximately one quarter of the @entity1 did not have @entity101 or significant @entity644 at the time of @entity410 . Twenty percent of all @entity1 had at least one major complication. Perinatal mortality was 12.8%. Antepartum and postpartum cases were more severe than intrapartum cases. CONCLUSION: Eclampsia occurs in one in 124 deliveries in Cali, Colombia and is associated with high maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.
