Hypertensive disorders include many vascular alterations appearing before or during pregnancy, delivery and/or puerperium. Together with hemorrhage and infection they are the more lethal triad of human medicine. We made a cross-sectional and descriptive study to characterize maternal morbidity and mortality secondary to a complicated pre-eclampsia in "Ana Betancourt de Mora" Gynecology and Obstetrics Provincial Hospital from January 2006 to September 2007. Sample included 312 pregnants presenting with some hypertensive disorder. We selected a sample including 82 pregnants diagnosed with complicated pre-eclampsia fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria. There was a predominance of severe pre-eclampsia (89,02 %), aged under 20 (31,71%), and nullipara with 51 ladies. Most of pregnants (48) was assessed as of normal weight, whereas 27 showed an exaggerated weight gain. Plain wave of arterial tension incidence was of 57, 32%. In 96,34% of pregnants we performed a cesarean section, from these, in a 70% in a elective way. There was not maternal death. Characterization of maternal morbidity and mortality of a complicated pre-eclampsia in our practice allow us to make proposal aimed to collect a series of risk factors influencing in care quality and its results in care to these complicated pregnants.
