| Popis: | Introduction: Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Obstetric sepsis is a significant contributor to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, especially in low-income countries. Several scoring systems can help in identifying sepsis and its severity; however, their application in the obstetric population is not well-defined because of the altered physiology of pregnancy. The Sepsis in Obstetrics Score (SOS) is designed specifically for the obstetric population to identify the likelihood of the need for critical care admission for the obstetric population presenting with signs of sepsis. Aim: To determine whether the SOS can be used to identify the severity of sepsis. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective observational time-bound study conducted at Gandhi Hospital, Secunderabad, Hyderabad, Telangana, India over six months from February 2023 to July 2023 on 100 subjects that included pregnant women, postpartum women within six weeks, and postabortal women within two weeks of abortion with suspected obstetric sepsis presenting to Gandhi Hospital. SOS score was calculated for all study participants and grouped into scores of |
