Design, construction, and validation of obstetric risk classification systems to predict intensive care unit admission.

The developed risk engine yielded positive results, emphasizing the need to optimize intensive care bed utilization and objectively identify high-risk pregnant women requiring these services. This approach promises to enhance the effective and efficient management of pregnant women, particularly in resource-constrained regions worldwide. By streamlining ICU admissions for high-risk cases, healthcare providers can better allocate critical resources, ultimately contributing to improved maternal health outcomes.
