Elective induction of labor versus expectant management at 39 weeks among low-risk nulliparous pregnant women: A randomized controlled trial in India (ELITE-39 trial).

Objective: The aim of the present open label randomized controlled trial was to compare the rate of cesarean section (CS) after elective induction with that of expectant management in low-risk nulliparous women at 39 weeks.

Methods: This randomized controlled trial from a tertiary maternity care center enrolled low risk nulliparous pregnant women at 38-38 weeks between April 1, 2019 and December 31, 2021. Participants were randomized into either the elective induction group (e-IOL) or the expectant management (EM) group though computer generated block randomization.

Proteinuria in predicting adverse outcomes in women with severe features of pre-eclampsia from a developing country: A prospective cohort study.

Objective: To study the adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes in women with severe pre-eclampsia (SPE) among different ranges of proteinuria.

Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted in Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, India. After obtaining informed written consent, the 202 singleton women fulfilling the criteria of severe features of pre-eclampsia were stratified based on the value of urine protein-creatinine ratio (UPCR) as mild, moderate, severe, and massive proteinuria during pregnancy.

Association between common mental disorder and glycemic control in women with gestational diabetes: A mixed-method study.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with an increased risk of mental health disorders among pregnant women. Poor mental health can negatively impact glycemic control in women with GDM, leading to adverse outcomes for both the mother and the baby.

Aim: To determine the prevalence of common mental disorder (CMD) in women with GDM and its association with poor glycemic control.

Adherence to medical nutrition therapy and it's challenges among antenatal women with gestational diabetes mellitus in South India- A sequential explanatory mixed-method study.

Background: Globally, one in ten pregnant women have diabetes; out of which, 90% contribute to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is the cornerstone for GDM treatment yet adherence to MNT among the masses is not adequately monitored as part of the routine antenatal services. The study aimed to estimate the proportion of adherence to MNT and determine the factors related toadherence among antenatal women with GDM.
