The remote prognosis of eclamptic women. Sixth periodic report.

All but three of the 270 women surviving eclampsia at the Margaret Hague Maternity Hospital in the period 1931 through 1951 were traced to 1973-74. Seventy-six have died and 13 were not re-examined. In white women having eclampsia in the first pregnancy carried to viability the remote mortality rate is not increased over that in unselected women; in white women having eclampsia as mulitparas and in all black women the remote mortality rate is from 2 to 5 times the expected numbers.
