BACKGROUND: Preeclampsia is @entity347 that occurs after the 20th week of gestation in pregnancy and is characterized by @entity101 and @entity644 . In Africa more than 270,000 @entity1 die from maternal deaths, worldwide approximately 76,000 @entity1 and 500,000 babies die yearly due to @entity1468 . It affects about 8-10  % of all pregnancies. Studies have shown that up to 77  % @entity1 affected with @entity1468 lack knowledge about @entity1468 , and therefore cannot take preventative measures. The aim of study is to evaluate the outcomes and quality of care given to preeclamptic @entity1 treated in Dilla University Referral Hospital. METHODS: The study is a retrospective, hospital based study. One hundred and seventy two records of @entity1 were retained for final study out of 7702 @entity1 from January 2009 to December 2012. RESULTS: The incidence rate of @entity1468 in Dilla University Referral Hospital was found to be 2.23  %. The common mean ages found to be affected for @entity1468 were 19.2, 22.5 and 27.8 and 31.5 with a trend towards increasing severity with younger age population. CONCLUSION: A guideline on the management and prevention of @entity1468 needs to be produced for Ehiopia.
