INTRODUCTION: @entity101 ( @entity101 ) are a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. We aimed at determining the trends in admission, profiles and outcomes of @entity1 admitted for @entity1468 and @entity3036 to an intensive care unit (ICU) in Cameroon. METHODS: A retrospective study involving 74 @entity1 admitted to the ICU of the Douala General Hospital for severe @entity1468 and @entity3036 from January 2007 to December 2014. Clinical profiles and outcome data were obtained from @entity1 records. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 20. RESULTS: Of the 74 @entity1 admitted to ICU (72.5% for @entity3036 ), mean age was 30.2years and the majority (90.5%) were aged 20-39 years. While overall trend in admission for @entity101 increased over the years, mortality remained stable. Mean gestational age (GA) on admission was 34.0 weeks (33.5 for @entity1468 vs 35.4 for @entity3036 ). Most @entity1 presented with complications of which @entity810 was most frequent (66.7%). @entity227 were more common in @entity1 with @entity3036 compared to @entity1468 (p = 0.01). @entity2102 and @entity4 ( @entity4 ) were predominant in @entity1 with @entity1468 , while @entity64 ( @entity64 ) occurred more in @entity1 with @entity3036 . Overall mortality was 24.3%. Presence of @entity4 was associated with mortality in multivariable analysis (O.R.= 0.03, p = 0,01). CONCLUSION: Trends in admission for @entity101 were increasing with high but stable mortality rate. @entity1 presented late most of whom with complications. Interventions improving antenatal care services and multidisciplinary management approach may improve maternal outcome in @entity1 with @entity101 .
