ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To assess the long-term quality of life (QoL) after obstetric Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission.DESIGN:
Cross-sectional survey study.SETTING:
Tertiary care centre. POPULATION Women admitted to the level 3 ICU during pregnancy or ≤6 weeks postpartum, between 2000 and 2015.METHODS:
Quality of life measures were compared with the population reference values. Associations with baseline ICU parameters were assessed with multivariable linear regression. Patient-reported outcome and experience measures (PROMs/PREMs) were described. MAIN OUTCOMEMEASURES:
Quality of life according to the Linear Analogous Scale (LAS), the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and the SF-36 questionnaire; PROMs/PREMs using the Pregnancy and Childbirth outcome set of the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement.RESULTS:
Of all 265 obstetric ICU admissions, 230 were eligible and 94 (41%) were included (median follow-up time 14 years). The LAS (75.7 versus 78.7, p = 0.077) and SWLS (25.2 versus 26, p = 0.176) sum scores were not different from the population reference values. The SF-36 subdomains bodily pain (55.3 versus 73.9), general health (58.2 versus 73.9) and vitality (56.9 versus 69.1) were lower than the reference values (all p < 0.001). PROMs/PREMs were low in 46.2% for pain, 15.1% for depression, 11.8% for satisfaction with care and 52.7% for healthcare responsiveness. An indirect obstetric ICU admission diagnosis was independently associated with a reduced physical health score (B -1.7, 95% confidence interval [CI] -3.4 to -0.1) and severe neonatal morbidity with a reduced mental health score (B -6.6, 95% CI -11.3 to -1.8).CONCLUSION:
Obstetric ICU admission is associated with reductions in long-term physical health QoL and in some patients with mental health QoL. We suggest multidisciplinary rehabilitation and long-term psychosocial support.Palavras-chave
