A prospective observational study to compare the maternal outcomes between modified early obstetrics warning system (meows) and standard of care groups among high risk pregnant women.

Abstract

Background: A trigger is defined as a single markedly abnormal observation or a combination of mildly abnormal observations. When a trigger is observed, it is expected that actions by the care team using a predefined protocol/algorithm will significantly reduce the risk of an adverse outcome. Physiological clinical observations such as vital signs are different in pregnant women compared to non-pregnant women as are abnormal thresholds. Modified early warning systems for the obstetric population have been advocated because they enable early detection of clinical deterioration, presenting an opportunity for timely actions to improve clinical outcome. Objective: To compare the adverse maternal outcome between Modified Early Obstetrics warning system (MEOWS) and Standard of care groups among the High-risk pregnant women
