A Study to Assess the Role of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) Score to Predict the Outcome of Women Admitted in Obstetric Intensive Care Unit in SMS Medical College, Jaipur

Introduction: The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, which was created to evaluate organ dysfunction in seriously ill patients, provides a clear and flexible way to assess the severity of organ failure across different systems. Using it in obstetric critical care gives important information about maternal outcomes and disease progress. The above study was conducted to assess the role of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score in predicting the outcome of women admitted in Obstetric Intensive Care Unit. Methodology: The study was conducted at SMS Medical College, Jaipur with total of 44 women included in the study. Their demographic, clinical, and obstetric characteristics were analyzed alongside their SOFA scores and outcomes. Result: Women with a lower SOFA score upon admission had better survival outcomes, with those scoring between 0 and 6 having no mortality. In contrast, women with a SOFA score greater than 12 had a significantly higher mortality rate (71.4%). Conclusion: Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score strongly supports in predicting maternal mortality and morbidity in obstetric intensive care unit (ICU) patients.
