Comparison of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) and Sepsis in Obstetrics Score (SOS) in Women with Pregnancy-Associated Sepsis with Respect to Critical Care Admission and Mortality: A Prospective Observational Study.

Objective: We aimed to determine performance of sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) and Sepsis in Obstetrics Score (SOS), in women with pregnancy-associated sepsis (PAS) with respect to critical care admission and mortality.

Methods: Obstetric patients with PAS fulfilling any 2 of the quick SOFA (qSOFA) criteria were enrolled as cases. The various parameters of SOFA and SOS were recorded at admission and compared for outcomes.

Serial Serum Lactic Acid in Pregnancy-Associated Sepsis for Maternal Outcome.

Objective: To correlate serial monitoring of lactic acid in pregnancy-associated sepsis (PAS) subjects with maternal prognosis.

Methods: All pregnant, post-abortal (2 weeks) and postpartum women with suspected sepsis fulfilling any 2 of the Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment criteria were considered as cases. Lactic acid was measured at 0, 24 and 48 h of admission, and lactate clearance was calculated.
