Validation of the Turkish Version of the Modified Early Obstetric Warning Systems (MEOWS) Charts

patient-administered questionnaires (MEOWS): Obstetric early warning systems are recommended to provide timely recognition, treatment and early referral of critically ill or developing patients. The development of early warning systems from simple bedside observation charts arose from the knowledge that physiological disturbances precede critical illness. Thanks to these charts, the fact that the patient's findings are in the risky value ranges allows the clinician to evaluate the patient earlier and in detail. MEOWS is a simple screening tool for maternal morbidity.
