Objective: To evaluate the maternal fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality in patients with HELLP syndrome. Methods: Retrospective, descriptive and longitudinal study which was developed in 128 patients with HELLP syndrome in the period between January 2004 and April 2009 in the Maternal Fetal Medicine service the Maternity Concepción Palacios. Results: Of the 128 patients studied, the HELLP syndrome was presented before delivery in 85 % cases (66.4 %) and postpartum in 43 cases (33.6 %), 43.8 % of the patients were primiparous and 73.4 % had the syndrome before 37 weeks. No cases of maternal death. Syndrome is associated to a high rate of maternal morbidity (62.5 %) being the main complication of acute renal failure (46 %). There were no cases of hepatic subcapsular hematoma. 100 % of the patients had some degree of arterial hypertension. There was a high perinatal mortality rate (18 %) mainly associated with prematurity. The average birth weight was 1 654 ± 728g. Conclusion: HELLP syndrome is associated with a high rate of near miss maternal morbidity and high rates in perinatal morbidity and mortality, the latter mainly associated with complications of prematurity.
