URGENT: Urgent Maternal Warning Signs Patient Reported Outcome Measure for Identification of Severe Maternal Morbidity in the Postpartum Period
NIMHD - National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities
About This Grant
ABSTRACT. Maternal mortality in the United States is the highest of all developed countries, and ~2/3 of deaths occur postpartum. Maternal deaths have been attributed to delays in receiving life-saving care, due to poor standardization of patient education of warning signs, and the onus entirely on the patient to report concerns. One approach to reduce maternal mortality is through hospital implementation of a patient-facing tool designed to facilitate early identification and treatment of severe maternal morbidity (SMM). Postpartum SMM is particularly concerning since patients have less healthcare interaction than in the antenatal period, leading to fewer opportunities to identify impending complications. There is currently no validated home monitoring tool to identify patients with signs or symptoms of impending SMM. This gap in knowledge hinders our ability to identify postpartum SMM and for patients to receive care promptly. The long-term goal is to improve early identification and treatment to prevent SMM, reduce disparities, and improve maternal health. The overall objective of this project is to refine and test the effectiveness of the Urgent Maternal Warning Signs© to detect SMM and impending SMM in a prospective study of a novel patient reported outcome measure (PROM). The central hypothesis is that postpartum SMM is preceded by identifiable warning signs and early recognition and treatment may reduce SMM. To achieve our overall objective we will do the following: Aim 1: Pilot the Urgent Maternal Warning Signs© PROM and subsequently modify it through qualitative semi-structured interviews with patients who experience SMM, impending SMM, and false positive responses for SMM; Aim 2: Test effectiveness of the modified Urgent Maternal Warning Signs PROM to identify postpartum impending SMM and SMM; Aim 3: Examine the effect of the Urgent Maternal Warning Signs© PROM on patient-facing implementation outcomes, number of postpartum touchpoints with health care providers, and reduction in disparities in touchpoints. The research proposed in this application is innovative because this bilingual application will be co-created by community partners and patients with lived experience of SMM and it places the onus of responsibility on the health care provider rather than the patient to follow up and provide guidance using protocol-based assessments. This research is significant because while studies of text-based patient reported monitoring systems have demonstrated feasibility and effectiveness to detect other severe pregnancy- and birthing-related complications, they have not yet been broadly applied to identifying, preventing, and treating postpartum SMM. Ultimately, this knowledge has the potential to improve early identification and treatment to reduce postpartum SMM.
