In all patients, gestational age, mode of delivery, parity, referring clinic, previous medical disease, diagnosis at admission, APACHE II Score and GCS score were recorded. Clinical course in intensive care unit and cause of death in non-survivors were recorded. Results: The percentage of obstetric patients treated in intensive care unit was 9.4% with a mortality rate of 3.7%. Preeclampsia, eclampsia and HELLP syndrome were leading causes for intensive care unit admission. Conclusion: Most common cause of death was postpartum bleeding and its complication.
