New scoring system could save lives of pregnant women in ICU
NCT ID NCT07068022
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to create a new scoring system (SOFA-OBS) that better predicts death risk for pregnant and postpartum women in intensive care. Researchers will collect routine data from 130 patients and test if a simple pulse oximeter can replace painful blood draws. The goal is to improve early detection of organ failure and sepsis, potentially saving more lives.
