The obstetrics comorbidity index as a predictive tool for risk-appropriate maternal care.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between obstetric co-morbidity index (OBCMI) and severe maternal morbidity (SMM) in antepartum obstetrics transfers. By utilizing a population of transfers to a level IV maternal care facility, we hope to demonstrate validity for the use of OBCMI in the triage of transfer to provide risk-appropriate maternal care.

Methods

Antepartum obstetrics transfers to a single level IV maternal care facility from 1/1/2016 to 12/31/2020 that resulted in delivery during the same encounter were included in this retrospective study. The components of the OBCMI score were retrospectively collected by manual chart review of transfer and admission notes in the electronic medical record (EMR). SMM was determined via ICD-10 and CPT c
