Objectives: We aimed to establish new cut-off values for SIRS (Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) variables in the obstetric population.

Methods: A prospective cohort study in pregnant and postpartum women admitted with systemic infections between December 2017 and January 2019. Patients were divided into three cohorts: Group A, patients with infection but without severe maternal outcomes (SMO); Group B, patients with infection and SMO or admission to the intensive care unit (ICU); and Group C, a control group.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Maria Pinerez"

  • - Maria Pinerez's recent research focuses on developing new criteria for identifying high-risk obstetric patients suffering from systemic infections, particularly addressing the limitations of existing SIRS criteria in this population.
  • - The study involved a prospective cohort design that categorized pregnant and postpartum women into groups based on the presence of infection and maternal outcomes, enhancing the understanding of risk stratification.
  • - By establishing new cut-off values for SIRS variables, the research aims to improve early detection and management of sepsis in obstetric patients, ultimately contributing to better maternal and neonatal health outcomes.
