Background: Sepsis remains a critical concern in obstetric care, posing substantial risks to both mothers and their unborn children. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the impact of sepsis on fetomaternal outcomes, exploring patient profiles, clinical interventions, and long-term consequences. Aim: The primary objective of this research is to investigate the multifaceted effects of sepsis on pregnant women and their infants, discerning the factors influencing the onset of sepsis, the efficacy of clinical interventions, and the subsequent long-term outcomes for both the mother and the child. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, involving an in-depth analysis of medical records from a diverse population of pregnant women who experienced sepsis. Patient profiles were examined, encompassing demographic details, medical history, and relevant clinical data. Clinical interventions, including antimicrobial treatments, surgical interventions, and supportive care measures, were assessed for their impact on immediate outcomes. Long-term consequences were evaluated through follow-up assessments, tracking maternal and neonatal health post-sepsis. Results: The analysis revealed a spectrum of patient profiles susceptible to sepsis during pregnancy, highlighting specific risk factors and common comorbidities. Clinical interventions demonstrated varying degrees of success, underscoring the importance of timely and targeted treatments. Long-term consequences unveiled the enduring impact of sepsis on maternal health, including potential sequelae and implications for future pregnancies. Neonatal outcomes were assessed, emphasizing the significance of early detection and intervention in mitigating adverse effects on infant health. Conclusion: This study provides a nuanced understanding of the impact of sepsis on fetomaternal outcomes, emphasizing the need for tailored approaches in both prevention and treatment. Insights gained from patient profiles, clinical interventions, and long-term consequences contribute to refining obstetric care strategies, ultimately improving outcomes for pregnant women and their infants in the face of sepsis.
