Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The outcome is to compare the neonatal and maternal outcomes among pregnant women presenting with severe preeclampsia with unfavourable cervix at or near term undergoing caesarean section with those for induction of labour.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. To compare the secondary outcomes – maternal and neonatal outcomes - (occurrence of fits, pulmonary oedema, acute respiratory distress, primary postpartum haemorrhage, haemolysis elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet (HELLP) syndrome, mother’s duration of admission, maternal death, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal seizure, duration of SCBU admission, and neonatal sepsis) between patients with severe preeclampsia and unfavourable cervix delivered by caesarean with those that undergo induction of labour and vaginal delivery. 2. To determine the prevalence of severe preeclampsia in Federal Medical Centre Gusau	—
