Can scoring systems (APACHE II/IV, SAPS III, SOFA) accurately predict severe maternal outcome in pregnant and postpartum women admitted to the obstetric ICU?
Can scoring systems (APACHE II/IV, SAPS III, SOFA) accurately predict severe maternal outcome in pregnant and postpartum women admitted to the obstetric ICU?
The SOFA score is effective for predicting severe maternal outcomes in obstetric ICU populations, while APACHE II is preferable for hemorrhagic complications.
APACHE/SOFA validation in obstetric patients leaves open routine use; prospective studies required before adoption.
