ICU<br />

admissions<br />

A tertiary based retrospective case<br />

control study of the hospital<br />

computer records of all obstetric<br />

admissions to the ICU at the Royal<br />

Free Hospital London over a 10 year<br />

period (1993 to 2003). For this study,<br />

admissions from 14 weeks’ gestation<br />

up to 6 weeks postpartum were<br />

included. The wom<strong>en</strong> who delivered<br />

just before and after the indexed case<br />

were chos<strong>en</strong> as controls. The data<br />

collected included demographic data,<br />

pre-existing medical or surgical<br />

conditions, obstetric history,<br />

indications for, as well as the<br />

outcome of ICU admission. The<br />

duration of stay in the ICU, use of<br />

mechanical v<strong>en</strong>tilation, and c<strong>en</strong>tral<br />

and arterial monitoring were also<br />

noted.<br />

The objective was to review all<br />

obstetric admissions to the int<strong>en</strong>sive<br />

care unit (ICU) at the Royal Free<br />

Hospital, London, UK, and to id<strong>en</strong>tify<br />

the risk factors for obstetric<br />

admissions to the ICU<br />

OBJECTIVE The objective was to review all obstetric<br />

admissions to the int<strong>en</strong>sive care unit (ICU) at the Royal<br />

Free Hospital, London, UK, and to id<strong>en</strong>tify the risk<br />

factors for obstetric admissions to the ICU.<br />

RESULTS: Thirty-three obstetric pati<strong>en</strong>ts were<br />

admitted to the ICU, repres<strong>en</strong>ting 0.11% of all deliveries.<br />

The ICU utilization rate was 0.81%. Eighty perc<strong>en</strong>t of the<br />

admissions were postpartum. The main indications for<br />

admission were hypert<strong>en</strong>sive disorders (39.4%), and<br />

obstetric haemorrhage (36.4%). There was no differ<strong>en</strong>ce<br />

betwe<strong>en</strong> cases and controls in, age, parity, smoking and<br />

employm<strong>en</strong>t status. Compared with controls, wom<strong>en</strong><br />

admitted to the ICU were significantly more likely to be<br />
