Population
Intervention
Magnesium sulfate
No MgSO4
Outcome
Primary outcomes were eclampsia and, for women randomised before delivery, death of
the baby.
Follow up was until discharge from hospital after delivery.
Analyses were by intention to treat.
Message
Magnesium sulfate halves the risk of eclampsia (seizures) and probably prevents
maternal death
