Core Tip	Critically ill obstetric patients admitted to a tertiary care intensive care unit demonstrated a high mortality rate, with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and obstetric hemorrhage being the leading causes of intensive care unit admission and death. Severity scoring systems were found to be effective in predicting patient outcomes, emphasizing their usefulness in early risk stratification and clinical decision-making. These findings highlight the importance of timely referral, early recognition of complications, and the establishment of dedicated obstetric critical care services to improve maternal outcomes.
