Factors associated with the presentation of puerperal sepsis in Guantanamo province, 2017-2018. Rev. inf. cient. [online]. 2020, vol.99, n.1, pp.12-19.  Epub 30-Ene-2020. ISSN 1028-9933.

Introduction:

Sepsis and septic shock represent one of the most serious complications during the puerperium.

Objective:

To identify the factors associated with the presentation of puerperal sepsis in patients admitted to the Intensive Care Service of the General Teaching Hospital "Dr. Agostinho Neto" during the 2017-2018 period.

Method:

An explanatory, observational, longitudinal, retrospective and case-control study was conducted.

Results:

Endomyometritis was the main cause of admission with 79.5%. The variables that behaved as predictors of puerperal sepsis were multiparous parity, gestational age under 37 weeks, delivery by caesarean section, history of preclampsia, vaginal sepsis and urinary sepsis, premature rupture of membranes and work of delivery greater than 12 hours. The variables that constituted independent risk factors for severe sepsis morbidity were base excess <- 4 (OR=11.9; 95% CI; 3.9-35.3; p <0.05) protein C reactive> 8 mg/L (OR=9.67; 95% CI; 5.9-14.24), SatO2 <75 (OR=6.35; 95% CI; 1.72-23.4), the gap anion> 16 mmol/L (OR=5.88; 95% CI; 3.86-8.97), APACHE II and the SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) scale upon admission with (OR=2, 57; 95% CI; 0.97-6.80) and (OR=2.67; 95% CI; 1.95-3.66), respectively.

Conclusions:

Puerperal sepsis means a problem at the "Dr. Agostinho Neto" General Teaching Hospital in Guantanamo, so that its recognition and adequate treatment are the keys to reducing morbidity from this cause.
