Introduction:Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a public health problem
especially in developing countries due to its
incidence and severity. It is responsible for high maternal and perinatal
morbidity and mortality. Accordingly, the objective of this work was to study
the factors associated with the occurrence of maternal and perinatal
complications of preeclampsia. Method:This was an analytical cross-sectional study with
prospective and retrospective data collection including all patients, pregnant
or postpartum, admitted for pre-eclampsia to the maternity ward of the Yaoundé Central
Hospital. It took place over a period of seven (07) months. The data collected
was analyzed using CS Pro 7.4, SPSS 20.0 and Microsoft Office Excel 2010
software. We compared the group with complications to the group without
complications. We calculated the odds ratio to look for associations between
variables and their 95% confidence intervals. The threshold for statistical
significance was set at p < 0.05. Results:We recruited 214 cases of preeclampsia in our
series. There were maternal complications in 44.4% of cases, dominated by
eclampsia (31.8%). We recorded 07 maternal deaths, representing a maternal
lethality of 3.3%. We had at least one perinatal complication in 105 cases
(49.1%). The predominant perinatal complication was prematurity. We recorded 32
cases of intrauterine fetal demise and 13 cases of early neonatal death, giving
a perinatal lethality of 21%. After logistic regression, the factors associated
with maternal complications were residing in a rural area (OR =
