A STUDY ON SEIZURE DISORDER COMPLICATING PREGNANCY - MATERNAL AND FETAL OUTCOME

Abstract

Abstract

Background: Seizure disorders, such as epilepsy, pose significant risks during pregnancy, affecting both maternal and fetal outcomes. Understanding these implications helps in better management and improved prognostic outcomes.

Methods: This study employed a prospective cohort design, analyzing 200 pregnant women diagnosed with seizure disorders. Data were collected on maternal health, seizure control, pregnancy complications, and fetal outcomes.

Results: The study found a correlation between seizure frequency during pregnancy and increased complications such as preterm labor and delivery. Fetal outcomes also showed variations based on the mother's condition and treatment efficacy.

Conclusion: Effective management of seizure disorders during pregnancy is crucial to improving both maternal and fetal outcomes. This study highlights the need for targeted interventions and continuous monitoring of pregnant women with seizure disorders.
