Clinical profile and outcomes of critically ill obstetric patients in the intensive care unit of a tertiary care center.
Article in World journal of critical care medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAlthough obstetric patients account for only 1%-2% of general intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, they constitute a distinct population with unique physiological characteristics and risk profiles. Therefore, understanding the clinical profile of these patients is essential for their appropriate management.
aimTo evaluate clinical characteristics, outcomes, and mortality predictors among obstetric patients admitted to a multidisciplinary ICU, and to assess the performance of established severity scoring systems in this unique population.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective study of all obstetric patients (pregnant or ≤ 6 weeks postpartum) admitted to the ICU of a tertiary care teaching hospital from January 2020 to April 2022. Primary outcomes included mortality rates and length of stay. Secondary outcomes included evaluation of Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment, Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, and Modified Early Obstetric Warning Score systems for mortality prediction.
resultsDuring the research period, 101 patients were admitted to the ICU. The documented mortality rate was 27.7% among these patients admitted to the ICU. The predominant reason for ICU hospitalization was hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (20.7%), followed by postpartum hemorrhage (19.8%). Mechanical ventilation was necessitated in 67.3% of parturient. Cesarean delivery was the most common mode of delivery (58.4%). Fetal outcomes included 81.1% live births, 12.8% intrauterine deaths, and 2.9% stillbirths. Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II, Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Modified Early Obstetric Warning Score, and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores of 21 (14-26.5), 36 (28.7-43), 6 (4-7), and 5 (4-6) significantly predicted mortality (
conclusionParturient may present to the critical care unit with hypertensive disorders, hemorrhage, morbidly adherent placenta, and other non-obstetric causes demanding obstetric and critical care. The availability of a dedicated obstetric critical care unit with specialized personnel would help decrease the mortality in this subset of patients.
