Abstract

Background: In resource-limited facilities, the greatest number of unfavorable maternal-fetal outcomes at referral hospitals is chronicled from emergency obstetric referrals of critically ill patients from lower health facilities. An efficient obstetric referral system is thus necessitated for improving maternal health. Referral practices have not been optimized effectively till date, owing to paucity of a detailed profile of referred women and indigenous barriers encountered during implementation process. Materials and methods: This five-year retrospective audit was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, VMMC and Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi from September 2018 to 2023, in which records of all critically ill obstetric women referred were reviewed. The primary outcomes included were proportion and pattern of patients being referred, while secondary outcomes included demographic variables, referring hospital, reason and number of steps in referral, duration of hospital stay and fetomaternal outcome. The data were recorded on a predesigned case proforma and analyzed using the SPSSv23 version of software, after application of appropriate statistical tests. Results: The referral rate to obstetric intensive care unit (ICU) ranged from 39 to 47% in last 5 years; hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (31%) being the foremost cause of the referrals. Around 2/3rd women were transferred without escort (70%) or prior communication (90.6%) and referral slips were incomplete in half the admissions. Conclusion: Ensuring emergency obstetric care (EmOC) at various levels by up-gradation of health infrastructure would go a long way in improving fetomaternal health outcomes. There is need of standardized referral slips tailor-made to each state and contextualized protocols for early recognition of complications and effective communication between referral centers.
