<strong>KCE</strong> Reports 94 <strong>Maternal</strong> <strong>Int<strong>en</strong>sive</strong> <strong>Care</strong> in Belgium 83<br />

All pathologies listed in table 41, were considered as indicators to require intermediate<br />

care. However, for pathologies such as severe foetal malformation or PPROM, there<br />

are almost twice as many wom<strong>en</strong> (in proportion) admitted in MIC-services as in non-<br />

MIC services. Logically, the maternities with MIC service that possess always an<br />

associated NIC service treat more pathologies related to prematurity than non MIC<br />

maternities.<br />

For other pathologies such as wom<strong>en</strong> with conv<strong>en</strong>tion diabetes and plac<strong>en</strong>ta previa,<br />

accreta and percreta, the number of wom<strong>en</strong> treated in non-MIC services is reasonably<br />

higher than in MIC-services. Wom<strong>en</strong> that were classified in the intermediate care<br />

category by the ICD-9 codes for mild or unspecified pre-eclampsia, were surprisingly<br />

outnumbered in the non-MIC hospitals. We have to note that the ICD-9 code for this<br />

pathology <strong>en</strong>compasses a large scope of criteria.<br />

Figure 18 shows all transfers of wom<strong>en</strong> during hospitalisation compared to its<br />

proportion of intermediate care wom<strong>en</strong>.<br />

Indeed, 862 wom<strong>en</strong> were transferred to a hospital with a MIC-service and 211 wom<strong>en</strong><br />

(19%) were transferred to a maternity without a MIC-service.<br />

Maternities without MIC-services Maternities with MIC-services<br />

The figure shows that, except 3 maternities with a MIC-service, having less than 10<br />

transfers a year, all other maternities with MIC-services receive more transfers than<br />

maternities without a MIC-service.<br />

Figure 19 maps the MIC-beds occupation ratio by intermediate care wom<strong>en</strong> and the<br />

number of transfers received per MIC-bed.
