Background: The Qanuinngitsiarutiksait study aimed to develop detailed profiles of Inuit health service utilization in Manitoba, by Inuit living in Manitoba (approximately 1,500) and by Inuit from the Kivalliq region of Nunavut who travel to Manitoba to access care not available in Nunavut (approximately 16,000 per year).
Methods: We used health administrative data routinely collected in Manitoba for all services provided and developed an algorithm to identify Inuit in the dataset. This paper focused on health services used by Inuit from the Kivalliq for prenatal care and birthing.
Background: Treatment of gestational diabetes mellitus has been demonstrated to improve perinatal outcomes. However, the role of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children in maternal and neonatal outcomes for qualifying patients with gestational diabetes mellitus is less understood.
Objective: The objective of this study is to observe the relationship of enrollment in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children with pregnancy outcomes in patients with gestational diabetes.
Expectant management of preterm premature rupture of membranes at 34 weeks: a cost effectiveness analysis.
J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med
December 2022
Objective: To examine the outcomes and cost effectiveness of expectant management versus immediate delivery of women who experience preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) at 34 weeks.
Methods: A cost-effectiveness model was built using TreeAge software to compare outcomes in a theoretical cohort of 37,455 women with PPROM at 34 weeks undergoing expectant management until 37 weeks versus immediate delivery. Outcomes included fetal death, neonatal sepsis, neonatal death, neonatal neurodevelopmental delay, healthy neonate, maternal sepsis, maternal death, cost, and quality-adjusted life years.
