Evaluation of “sepsisin obstetrics score in pregnancy associated sepsis”- A cross-sectional study
Author(s): Sushmita Dey, Neeta Sarma and Alaka Banerjee
Abstract:
Pregnancy -associated sepsis (PAS) is responsible for significant maternal morbidity and mortality world over. Thus, pregnancy-associated sepsis requires early detection, accurate diagnosis and aggressive treatment. Illness severity scores commonly used in critical care settings are not considered appropriate in obstetrics practice, as they do not account for pregnancy physiology. A new score, the “Sepsis in Obstetrics Score” was introduced by ‘Albright et al’ for triaging patients with sepsis pregnancy associated sepsis in an emergency department setting and to identify risk of critical care admission for pregnant and postpartum women who presented with signs of sepsis. The aim of the study is to evaluate the SOS predictability of severe sepsis, ICU admission and maternal mortality.
It can be concluded that applying SOS can enhance overall prognosis by preventing maternal mortality. However, larger studies are required to ascertain the effectiveness of the Sepsis in Obstetrics Score.
