dc.description.abstract | Background. Preeclampsia is a multisystem pregnancy disorder recognized by
varying degrees of placental malperfusion with the release of soluble factors into
the circulation. Research studies comparing the adverse maternal effects of early
onset and late onset preeclampsia are limited in Indonesia, so there is limited
knowledge about the differences in maternal-fetal complications in early onset
preeclampsia and late onset preeclampsia.Objective. To determine the relationship
between the onset of preeclampsia and the severity of preeclampsia at H. Adam
Malik Medan General Hospital in 2020-2023. Methods. This research is analytic
in nature using a retrospective study approach conducted using secondary data
through medical records of preeclampsia patients at the Haji Adam Malik Medan
Hospital in 2020-2023 with a total sample of 70 people. Results. It was found that
more than half of the sample 40 (57.1%) were early-onset category and the majority
52 (74.3%) patients were severe preeclampsia patients. The most common severe
symptoms in severe preeclampsia were grade 3 hypertension (53.8%), proteinuria
(84.6%), thrombocytopenia (38.5%), renal insufficiency (32.7%), and central
nervous system symptoms, namely persistent headache or visual disturbances
(50%). In addition, it was also found that the onset of preeclampsia was associated
with the severity of preeclampsia (p value <0.05) Conclusion. There is a significant
association between the onset of preeclampsia and the severity of preeclampsia,
with the most symptoms being grade 3 hypertension, proteinuria,
thrombocytopenia, renal insufficiency, and central nervous system symptoms. | en_US |
