“…For hypertensive disorders, the range is 7-73.6 % from 24 studies , and the mean is 34.85 %. For obstetric hemorrhage, the range is 11-62.5 %, and the mean is 27.90 % from 23 studies [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

“…The percentage of obstetric population requiring admission to the ICU is different in different countries based on the socioeconomic status, criteria for ICU admission, availability of ICU beds, and availability of a high dependency unit. It ranges from 0.08 to 0.76 % of deliveries in developed countries [3][4][5][6][7] and 0.13 to 4.6 % in developing countries [1,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. The mortality in these patients is high and ranges from 0 to 4.9 % of ICU admissions in developed [4][5][6][7] and 2-43.63 % in developing countries [8-11, 13, 15, 16].…”

About the Author AbstractPurpose To analyze obstetric admissions to intensive care unit and to identify the risk factors responsible for intensive care admission. Methods This is a retrospective study of all obstetric cases admitted to the intensive care unit over a period of 3 years. Data were collected from case records. The risk factors responsible for ICU admission were analyzed. Results There were 765 obstetric admissions to ICU accounting for 1.24 % of all deliveries. 56.20 % were in the age group of 20-25 years. 38.43 % were in their first pregnancy. 36.48 % of cases were at 37-40 weeks of gestation. Postpartum admissions were 80.91 %. Major conditions responsible were obstetric hemorrhage in 44.05 %, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in 28.88 %, severe anemia in 14.37 %, heart disease in 12.15 %, and sepsis in 7.97 % of ICU cases. 40.39 % cases required high dependency care. Maternal mortality was seen in 15.55 % of ICU cases. Commonest cause of mortality was hemorrhagic shock (26.89 %) and multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (26.05 %). Conclusion Commonest risk factors for ICU admissions are obstetric hemorrhage and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Other major risk factors are severe anemia, heart disease, sepsis, more than one diagnosis on admission, and the need for cesarean delivery.

“…This is similar to the 48% found in a similar study in New Zealand. [2] The patient-related AVF category was most common in our study (mainly the initiation of antenatal care after 20 weeks' gestation, that occurred in 11 women). In the New Zealand study, the most common AVF was the failure of healthcare workers to recognise the seriousness or complexity of patients' illnesses.…”

“…[1] It has also been reported that 48% of maternity admissions to a tertiary hospital ICU in New Zealand were potentially avoidable. [2] In the New Zealand study, failure of health workers to recognise the severity of illnesses was the most common avoidable factor (AVF). The situation in SA has not been investigated fully.…”

“…This was determined following a comprehensive chart review (Davis, LayYee, Briant, & Scott, 2003). A more recent, smaller study, undertaken during 2010 -2011 by Auckland District Health Board, found that 48% of severe maternal morbidity was preventable (Sadler et al, 2013). In a review of maternal deaths in New Zealand 35% were identified as potentially avoidable by an expert panel (Farquhar, Sadler, Masson, Bohm, & Haslam, 2011 (Health Quality and Safety Commission, 2013a).…”
