Abstract

Severe maternal morbidity (SMM) is a continuous condition involving organ dysfunction, with higher maternal mortality rates due to poor health services and pregnancy risks. This study aims to observe changes in daily SOFA scores of critically ill patients in an obstetric ICU, study their clinical course and evaluate if SOFA scores can predict their outcomes. To determine the predictive and discriminative abilities of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores to monitor and predict outcomes in pregnant women with severe obstetric morbidity who were admitted to the Obstetric Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in our tertiary hospital. It was an observational study. This study was conducted at the Obstetric ICU in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Calcutta National Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata. The study covered over a period of One year (July 2021 to June 2022). Numbers of the patients taken for the study were 100. The correlation between SOFA scores and mortality through the ROC curve. Correlation between SOFA score and mortality is found to be very significant. SOFA scoring is a valuable method for monitoring patients with severe maternal morbidity in Obstetric ICUs, with scores of 7 and above providing accurate mortality predictions and prognostic information.
