Temporal and Regional Trends in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Using Administrative Health Data in Alberta, Canada.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common treatable condition with important health and societal consequences. We aimed to assess the annual incidence and prevalence of clinically recognized and geographic clustering of OSA in Alberta, Canada, using administrative health data case definitions. We used two administrative health databases in Alberta to identify ICD-9 and ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth and 10th Revisions, respectively) diagnostic codes for adults and children at least 2 years old diagnosed with OSA between 2003 and 2020.

Insulin pump use in pregnancy is associated with lower HbA1c without increasing the rate of severe hypoglycaemia or diabetic ketoacidosis in women with type 1 diabetes.

Aims/hypothesis: The aim of this study was to compare glycaemic control and maternal-fetal outcomes in women with type 1 diabetes managed on insulin pumps compared with multiple daily injections of insulin (MDI).

Methods: In a retrospective study, glycaemic control and outcomes of 387 consecutive pregnancies in women with type 1 diabetes who attended specialised clinics at three centres 2006-2010 were assessed.

Results: Women using insulin pumps (129/387) were older and had a longer duration of diabetes, more retinopathy, smoked less in pregnancy, and had more preconception care (p < 0.
