Abstract | CONTEXT: METHODS: We performed a retrospective study between March 1996 and April 2005 in a level III maternity. 533 patients were managed with preeclampsia and/or HELLP syndrome during this period. We compared patients admitted in intensive care with patients who did not require admission in intensive care. RESULTS: Sixty six patients (12,4%) with preeclampsia and/or HELLP were admitted in intensive care. Severe HELLP syndrome, eclampsia, neurological troubles and acute pulmonary oedema were the four leading causes of admission. The mean duration of admission was 3, 2+/-2,9 days. Mean age of the patients (28, 2+/-5,8 vs. 29,0+/-5,8 years, NS) and number of primiparous (71, 2% vs 66,6%, NS) were similar between the two groups. The mean gestational age of delivery was reduced when patients were needed admission in intensive care (29,8+/-3,9 weeks of gestation versus 32,5+/-4,4, p<0,001). 77, 3% of babies survived in the intensive care group compared with 90,4% in the other group (p<0,01). CONCLUSION:
