The case\u2010fatality rate for eclampsia was 5.0% for women who delivered at MNH and 16% for those referred to MNH after being delivered elsewhere. The risk of low birth weight and perinatal death was significantly increased in eclamptic women (odds ratio = 6 and 10, respectively). The screening coverage for signs of pre\u2010eclampsia was &gt;85%, except for proteinuria (33%). Fewer than 50% of the women who developed eclampsia had been referred from the ANC clinic and &lt;10% were admitted to the antenatal ward at MNH before onset of eclamptic
