title: [Mortality case analyses of obstetric-gynecologic sepsis].
abstract: The aim of the study was the clinical and pathology description of patients who died due to post-delivery or postabortion sepsis. We performed the retrospective analysis based on the postmortem examination of patients who died after post-delivery or postabortion sepsis at the Anti-Sepsis Center during 1987-2000. For thirteen years at gynecological department of the Anti-Sepsis Center out of 524 patients hospitalized with the diagnosis of postpartum or postabortion sepsis 45 died (8.6%). During all those years lethality fluctuated between 2.2%-15.5%. The existence of extragenital diseases in pre-delivery period was afterwards the risk-factor for the development of polyorganic insufficiency with sepsis. These irreversible changes was the cause lethal outcome. The main factors were delayed hospitalization, severity of complications and septic shock.
