Focus of the current study is to add internationally comparable evidence-based knowledge on the rehabilitation of AL residents by examining progression and mortality in relation to the level of service provided in AL units.
Methods: This study utilized data gathered from a longitudinal study conducted in Finland during the years 2020 to 2022.
Article Synopsis
- Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is identified through abnormal results in an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), with a lack of clear understanding about how the number of abnormal values relates to negative birth outcomes.
- A study involving 4869 pregnant women in Finland analyzed the connection between the quantity of abnormal OGTT values and adverse perinatal and neonatal results, taking into account various health and social factors.
- Results indicated that women with two or more abnormal OGTT values had significantly higher rates of negative perinatal (35.0% vs. 27.5%) and neonatal outcomes (31.1% vs. 18.9%) compared to those with fewer or no abnormal values.
Objective: To assess the frequency and perinatal outcomes of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) defined by the criteria according to the International Association of Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group (IADPSG) and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) diagnostic criteria for GDM.
Design: A retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Six secondary and tertiary delivery hospitals in Finland in 2009.
