Use of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score for evaluating outcome among obstetric patients admitted to the intensive care unit
2016, International Journal of Gynecology and ObstetricsCitation Excerpt :However, these scores overestimate maternal mortality [10–14]. The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score evaluates illness severity on the basis of the degree of organ dysfunction [15]. Although the SOFA score has been extensively studied in the general population, few studies have been conducted in the obstetric population.

2014, Seminars in PerinatologyCitation Excerpt :Combined, the physiological parameters at presentation are relatively out of step with the clinical course of many obstetric conditions. It has, therefore, been reasonably suggested that a new scoring system is required for obstetric ICU patients.39 Data are lacking here.
Obstetric anaesthesia in low-resource settings
2010, Best Practice and Research: Clinical Obstetrics and GynaecologyCitation Excerpt :‘Obstetric Intermediate Care Units’ have been proposed, but most of these units refer patients to medical/surgical intensive care units if ventilation is required.79 The allocation of limited resources in the developing world is difficult, since the validity of general scoring systems such as the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) in the population of critically ill obstetric patients is unclear.80 Assessment of disease severity is made more difficult by the inability of many laboratories to provide more than haemoglobin, white cell count, HIV testing and blood transfusion.81
