INTRODUCTION: Worldwide, @entity101 disease of pregnancy is one of the most frequent causes of admission of obstetric @entity1 to the ICU. Maternal mortality risk related to @entity101 during pregnancy in Latin America is significantly higher than in developed countries. OBJECTIVES: To describe the characteristics and outcomes of pregnant-postpartum @entity1 with @entity101 disease of pregnancy admitted to ICU METHODS: DESIGN: Multicenter case series study. POPULATION: pregnant-postpartum (<42days) @entity1 with @entity101 disease of pregnancy admitted to ICU. SETTING: 3 ICUs in Argentina, 2 from the Public (P1) and 1 from the Private Health Sector (P2). STATISTICS: Continuous data are presented as mean  SD or median [IQR], and categorical data as number (%). Comparisons among continuous data were performed with unpaired t test or Mann-Whitney U test. Categorical variables were analyzed by Chi-square test or Fisher exact test as appropriate. A two-sided a<0.05 was considered as significant. SPSS version 15 was used. RESULTS: One hundred and eighty four @entity1 were included, 161(87.5%) from P1. General characteristics are shown in the Table. Gestational age was 34  5 weeks. Risk factors for @entity1468 not included in Charlson score were chronic @entity101 (22;12%), @entity28 (6;3%) and @entity1468 in previous pregnancy (5;3%). ICU admission was postpartum in 80%(145). Causes of admission were @entity3036 (63;34%), severe @entity1468 (61;33%), @entity2102 (33;18%), @entity2102 (18;10%), Chronic @entity101 (5;3%) and Gestational @entity101 (4;2%). Predictive mortality according with APACHEII was 14%. Antenatal care was present in 115/142(81%) @entity1 ; 97/124(78%) in P1 vs 18/18 (100%) in P2; p0.024. Antenatal care was appropriate in 77/108(71.3%) of @entity1 ; 59/90(65.5%) in P1 vs 18/18(100%) in P2; p0.001. @entity204 (6) occurred in the Public sector and none of the @entity1 had received antenatal care. Causes of mortality were @entity64 (3) and multiple organ dysfunction (3) Table 1. CONCLUSION: Most @entity1 were from the public health sector and the majority did not have any comorbidity according with the Charlson score. Nevertheless, 18% presented risk factors for @entity1468 , not included in the mentioned score. Two-thirds of @entity1 were admitted with @entity3036 and severe @entity1468 . APACHEII overpredicted mortality. Half of deaths were related with @entity64 , complication almost eradicated from developed countries. None of the @entity1 who died had received antenatal care.
