Objective To compare the performance of SOFA,APACHE-Ⅱand OEWS in obstetric ICU admissions to predict the sever maternal outcome.Methods A retrospective study was performed on a total of 363 pregnant and postpartum women admitted to the obstetric ICU of The Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2015 to December 2018.The scores of SOFA,APACHE-Ⅱand OEWS were calculated by the worst value within 24 hours of admission,and the discrimination and calibration of the three scoring systems for predicting the occurrence of SMO were evaluated.Results A total of 363 pregnant women were admitted to the obstetric ICU,SMO occurred in 152 cases,including 2 maternal death,the incidence of SMO in obstetric ICU was 41.87%,and the maternal mortality was 0.55%.Among all ICU admissions,SOFA had a excellent discrimination(AUC=0.87;95%CI:083-0.91)and was most accurate(cut off=2.5,LR>10)in prediction of SMO;the discrimination of APACHE-Ⅱwas good(AUC=0.804;95%CI:0.757-0.85)and the OEWS was acceptable(AUC=0.701;95%CI:0.646-0.757).When subgroup analysis based on the reason of admission,the performance of the scores were consistent with the overall,whereas APACHE-Ⅱand OEWS significantly underestimating SMO for direct causes,especially for postpartum hemorrhage.Conclusion SOFA may be the first choice for predicting SMO in obstetric ICU;APACHE-Ⅱmay be used secondly,but for direct cause admissions it is not applicable;OEWS is not apply to predict SMO in critically pregnant and puerperal women.A further study to develop and validate the prognosticate scoring system for obstetric critical patients is impendency.
