To examine trends in the rates of severe obstetric complications and the potential contribution of changes in delivery mode and maternal characteristics to these trends. We performed a cross-sectional study of severe obstetric complications identified from the 1998–2005 Nationwide Inpatient Sample of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project. Logistic regression was used to examine the effect of changes in delivery mode and maternal characteristics on rates of severe obstetric complications. The prevalence of delivery hospitalizations complicated by at least of one severe obstetric complications increased from 0.64% (n=48,645) in 1998–99 to 0.81% (n=68,433) in 2004–05. Rates of complications per 1,000 which increased significantly during the study period included renal failure by 21% (from 0.23 to 0.28), pulmonary embolism by 52% (0.12 to 0.18), adult respiratory distress syndrome by 26% (0.36 to 0.45), shock by 24% (0.15 to 0.19), blood transfusion by 92% (2.38 to 4.58), and ventilation by 21 % (0.47 to 0.57). In logistic regression models, adjustment for maternal age had no effect on the increased risk for these complications in 2004–05 relative to 1998–99. However, after adjustment for mode of delivery, the increased risks for these complications in 2004–05 relative to 1998–99 were no longer significant, with the exception of pulmonary embolism (OR=1.30) and blood transfusion (OR=1.72). Further adjustment for payer, multiple births, and select comorbidites had little effect. Rates of severe obstetric complications increased from 1998–99 to 2004–05. For many of these complications, these increases were associated with the increasing rate of cesarean delivery.
