Brief Summary:
The objective of this study is to examine the predictive capability of the Obstetric comorbidity index in the identification of severe maternal morbidity associated with postpartum hemorrhage in patients undergoing cesarean delivery.
Detailed Description:
The prospectively predictive maternal morbidity is imperative to enhance maternal outcomes. There has been development of the obstetric comorbidity index (OBCMI) by Bateman et al. in 2013 and performed with superior performance characteristics relative to general comorbidity measures in an obstetric population. The score has been a growing recognition of the necessity for specialized risk assessment tools tailored specifically to obstetric populations that differ from other populations. For instance, both the Charlson/Romano comorbidity index or the Elixhauser comorbidity score and their adaptations are deficient in accounting for obstetric conditions, thereby limiting their ability to predict obstetric morbidity or mortality.
The Obstetric Comorbidity Index has undergone thorough examination and validation across multiple nations. These findings collectively demonstrate the index's capacity for moderate to high predictive accuracy in anticipating maternal morbidities, accompanied by a commendable discriminative performance.
However, within the context of Thailand, investigations concerning the Obstetric Comorbidity Index and its association with perioperative complications or morbidities in postpartum hemorrhage patients undergoing cesarean delivery remain unexplored. Therefore, this study aims to elucidate the correlation between the Obstetric Comorbidity Index and severe maternal morbidity, while also scrutinizing the prevalence of comorbidities during the perioperative period among patients undergoing cesarean delivery at the largest University hospital, in THAILAND. Predicting the rate of maternal morbidity would be advantageous for facilitating preparation and augmenting awareness of complications during the perioperative period.
