Study Overview
Brief Summary
Our study aims to evaluate the use of early warning scores as a screening tool to predict obstetric mortality and morbidity in pregnant women who will undergo cesarean section.
Detailed Description
Our study aims to evaluate the use of early warning scores as a screening tool to predict obstetric mortality and morbidity in pregnant women who will undergo cesarean section.
This prospective study included 304 patients undergoing cesarean section at Suleyman Demirel University between April 2022 and April 2023. Physiological parameters were assessed in all 304 pregnant women before the operation. Maternal early warning scores, including modified early obstetric warning score (MEOWS), maternal early warning score (MEWC), and maternal early warning triggers (MEWT), were calculated for each patient. Patients triggering the system were classified as Group 1 (risky patients), while those not triggering the system were classified as Group 2 (risk-free patients).

All patients who are pregnant and undergo cesarean section
We included all patients who were pregnant and underwent cesarean section and calculated maternal early warning scores.
Intervention: All patients who were pregnant and underwent cesarean section (Other)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
MEWT score
Time Frame: One year
For MEWT, the presence of a "trigger" defined as either a single severely abnormal parameter (falling in the "red" zone) or two mildly abnormal parameters (falling in the "yellow" zone) was categorized as the risky group, with the absence or mildness of the trigger considered as the risk-free group.
MEOWS, MEWC and MEWT scores
Time Frame: One year
The presence of a "trigger" for MEOWS in all systems, defined as either a single severely abnormal parameter (falling in the "red" zone) or two slightly abnormal parameters (falling in the "yellow" zone), was categorized as the risky group. Absence or mildness of the trigger was considered as the risk-free group.
MEWC score
Time Frame: One year
In the case of MEWC, the presence of only one abnormal parameter designated the risk group, while the absence of a trigger indicated the risk-free group.
Secondary Outcomes
- Aldrete score(One year)
- APGAR score(One year)
- Glasgow Coma Scale(One year)
