Adverse Childbirth and Perinatal Outcomes Among Healthy, Low-Risk Pregnant Women with Abnormal Total Gestational Weight Gain.

Little is known on the potential effects of abnormal gestational weight gain (GWG) among low-risk, healthy pregnant women with no comorbidities or gestational complications. We investigated perinatal outcomes of these pregnancies according to GWG as per the 2009 National Academy of Medicine (NAM) recommendations. A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of low-risk pregnant women giving birth at term between January 2016 and December 2020.

Impact of a diagnostic therapeutic educational pathway program for asthma management in preschool children.

Background: Preschool children with clinically-diagnosed asthma have a higher rate of emergency department visits and consume more resources for management than older children. However, no clinical trials have yet been performed measuring the impact of a combined diagnostic, therapeutic and educational pathway regimen for evaluation of wheezing control in children aged less than 6 years. The purpose of the present study was to assess the impact of a pediatric program developed in Italy, the Diagnostic Therapeutic Educational Pathway (DTEP), for asthma management in children less than 6 years old attending an asthma referral center.

Evaluation of a Diagnostic Therapeutic Educational Pathway for Asthma Management in Children and Adolescents.

Limited evidence exists for the effectiveness of educational programs that improve pediatric asthma control in real-world settings. We aimed to assess the impact of a diagnostic, therapeutic, and educational pathway (DTEP) for asthma management in children and adolescents attending an asthma referral center. This is a retrospective population-based cohort study, including two groups of patients with asthma, aged 6-17 years and residing in the Local Health Authority (LHA) of Brescia, Italy: (a) the children who followed a DTEP (intervention group) and (b) all the children residing in the LHA who did not follow DTEP (control group).
