Clinical outcomes and healthcare costs among Turkish and immigrant obstetric patients in intensive care unit: a 7-year retrospective cohort study from Turkey.
Article in BMC anesthesiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundBy analyzing pregnancy-related intensive care unit (ICU) admissions in different populations, the key risk factors of maternal outcomes can be identified. The aim of this study was to examine and compare outcomes and healthcare costs of critical care among Turkish obstetric patients (TOP) and immigrant obstetric patients (IOP) who were admitted to ICU.
methodsThis study was a retrospective cohort conducted at the intensive care unit of a Tertiary Care Hospital in Turkey. The data of all obstetric intensive care unit admissions over the period 2012-2018 were analyzed. Healthcare costs were also evaluated in both Turkish Lira and United States dollars ($).
resultsOne hundred seventeen obstetric patients (75.2% TOP and 24.8% IOP) required ICU admissions over these 7 years. The average age of the IOP was significantly lower than that of the TOP (p < 0.05). It was determined that 39.8% (n = 35) of the TOP and 17.2% (n = 5) of the IOP were primiparous (p < 0.05). The TOP had a higher cesarean section rate (77.3%; n = 68) than the IOP (p < 0.05). The most common reasons for ICU admission were hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in both the TOP (36.4%) and the IOP (31.0%). IOP required antibiotic therapy more frequently (p < 0.05). The most common complication was acute kidney injury in both the TOP (17.0%) and the IOP (13.8%). Maternal death occurred in one of the IOP (3.4%) in six of the TOP (6.8%). The average cost of ICU during study period was 3682 Turkish liras ($1032) in Turkish citizen obstetric patients and 4585 Turkish liras ($1250) for immigrant patients.
conclusionThe critical care outcomes of immigrant and Turkish pregnant women were similar, except for some differences. The role of immigration status on the pregnancy, obstetric and gynecological critical care should be explored further.
