Amy, Here is some information I had in my files. I don't have a copy of the published article in Obstetrics and Gynecology. "The first epidemiological study of maternal sepsis and associated risk factors was led by Melissa E.B. Bauer, D.O., and was recognized as on the Best Abstracts at the 2012 annual meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists. Obstetrics and Gynecology is publishing the team's meta-analysis showing that Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) criteria overlap with normal maternal physiology and a call for new criteria to be developed to aid in early diagnosis of maternal sepsis. Studies underway include a multicenter retrospective case control study to validate risk factors for maternal sepsis and establish SIRS criteria adjusted for the physiological changes of pregnancy to aid in early diagnosis. Further research will focus on novel techniques to identify maternal sepsis and infection as well as interventions to decrease maternal mortality and morbidity."
