Random blood glucose measurement at antenatal booking to screen for overt diabetes in pregnancy: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess random venous blood glucose (RBG) measurement at antenatal booking to detect "overt diabetes in pregnancy" (ODIP).

Research design and methods

A retrospective analysis of regional hospital obstetric data from 2004-2008 was performed. Universal RBG screening was included at booking. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was administered if RBG >7.0 mmol/L or other indications, e.g., if a 50-g glucose challenge test was >7.7 mmol/L at 26-28 weeks. ODIP was based upon World Health Organization plasma glucose criteria for diabetes.

Results

RBG data were collected from 17,852/26,369 (67.7%) pregnancies around the initial antenatal visit; 3,007 women had an OGTT. The receiver operator curve area under the curve for RBG to detect ODIP was 0.86 (0.80-0.92) (assuming women without an OGTT did not have ODIP).

Conclusions

RBG at booking may provide a sufficiently sensitive screening tool for the detection of ODIP. We recommend further studies and comparison with fasting glucose and HbA(1c).

Project description:Background Early booking or registration into Antenatal Care (ANC) can be defined as initiation of ANC before 12 weeks of gestation and is important for the best health outcome of the mother and the baby. Delayed initiation of ANC has been linked to increased rate of maternal and fetal mortality. There is international consensus that ANC should begin within first trimester yet pregnant women delay initiation of ANC. Health Care Workers (HCWs) understanding of reasons for this can improve patient provider relationship. Objectives This study aims to explore the perception of the HCWs in Fiji towards early antenatal booking. Methods A qualitative study was employed using four Focus-Group Discussions (FGDs)with the HCWs who provide health care service for pregnant women in Ba Mission Hospital (BMH) in 2020. Each group comprised of medical officers, mid-wives and registered nurse who were chosen purposively. A semi-structured open ended questionnaire was used to guide the discussion. Data was transcribed and analyzed manually using thematic content analysis using the following process: familiarization, coding, identifying themes, reviewing and refining, integration and interpretation. Results There was a total of 18 HCWs for the FGDs. The mean age of the participants was 37.4±11.8years. The three themes identified were: knowledge of HCWs on early booking, their perceived barriers and perceived enabling factors to early antenatal booking. The FGDs identified that the HCWs had adequate knowledge on early initiation of ANC and that there were a range of barriers to early initiation of ANC. The HCWs also suggested factors that could enable women to book early. Conclusion Based on the study it can be concluded that the HCWs have a positive perception of early antenatal booking, however, there are various factors that contribute to delayed antenatal booking. The barriers to early ANC are both an opportunity and a challenge to strengthen and review the maternal services offered. The enabling factors should be reinforced from an individual level to the health system and the general context. The implications of the barriers and enabling factors identified in this study is to implement evidence-based policies to improve early antenatal booking in Ba, Fiji.

Project description:Antenatal care (ANC) is an important intervention that has been linked to reduce maternal and newborn adverse outcomes. However, the long years of war in Liberia may have contributed to the poor health indices including the uptake of maternal health care services. The objective of this study was to determine the marginal interaction effects between booking time and socioeconomic factors in eight or more ANC contacts. A total sample of 4,185 women who had given birth were included in this study. The 2020 Liberia Demographic and Health Survey (LDHS) dataset was analyzed. The outcome variable was eight or more ANC contacts. Percentage and Chi-square test were used in univariate and bivariate analyses respectively. The marginal interaction effects between booking time and socioeconomic factors of eight or more ANC contacts were estimated. The statistical significance was determined at 5%. The weighted prevalence of eight or more ANC contacts was 26.6% (95% CI: 23.8%, 29.6%). The uptake of eight or more ANC contacts increased steadily by increasing women's level of education and household wealth index. Women with higher educational attainment had a prevalence of 49.0% (95%CI: 36.5%, 61.6%) and those in the richest households had an estimated prevalence of 31.4% (95%CI: 24.9%, 38.8%) respectively. Furthermore, the urban dwellers had a weighted eight or more ANC contacts prevalence of 29.0% (95%CI: 24.6%, 34.0%). The key finding is increased marginal interaction effects for higher education and early booking (48.4%), richest households and early booking (35.4%), and urban residential status and early booking (36.2%) respectively. Overall, the prevalence of eight or more ANC contacts was low. However, we found higher coverage of eight or more ANC contacts among women who initiated ANC within the first trimester and among those with higher socioeconomic status. We recommend the Liberian government to design and/or support programmes targeted at promoting early ANC initiation and supporting the disadvantaged women such as the uneducated, poor and those living in rural or remote settings.

Project description:BackgroundThe primary aim of this study was to examine weight gain during pregnancy and associated adverse outcomes across different types of antenatal health care providers. Our research question examined whether type of antenatal health care provider (family physician, obstetrician, midwife, or family physician plus obstetrician) was associated with differing rates of excess or inadequate weight gain and associated adverse outcomes including being large for gestational age, being small for gestational age, cesarean delivery and preterm birth.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study used data from the Better Outcomes Registry & Network Information System, 2014-2016, for singleton hospital births at 20-42 weeks' gestation in Ontario. We calculated descriptive statistics to summarize patient characteristics and outcomes by antenatal health care provider. We calculated crude and adjusted relative risks with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the exposure (weight gain during pregnancy) relative to each secondary outcome by health care provider. We calculated population attributable fractions with 95% CIs to assess the proportion of secondary outcomes that could be prevented if inadequate or excess weight gain (according to the 2009 Institute of Medicine guidelines) were removed by health care provider.ResultsThe final cohort consisted of 231 697 pregnancies, of which 26 043 (11.2%), 136 994 (59.1%), 32 262 (13.9%) and 36 298 (15.7%) were managed by a family physician, obstetrician, midwife, and family physician plus obstetrician, respectively. Rates of weight gain below, within or above recommended levels were 31 742 (13.7%), 71 826 (31.0%) and 128 128 (55.3%), respectively, and did not differ across health care provider groups. No difference was observed in rates of secondary outcomes according to weight gain across health care providers. Excess weight gain was associated with a significant risk of being large for gestational age and cesarean delivery, and inadequate weight gain was associated with an increased risk of being small for gestational age and preterm birth. The population attributable fractions indicated a pronounced contribution of excess weight gain to being large for gestational age across all health care provider groups.InterpretationWeight gain during pregnancy and rates of associated secondary outcomes did not differ according to antenatal health care provider. This suggests a need for further research exploring counselling techniques and strategies for all types of antenatal health care providers to use in order to promote optimal weight gain during pregnancy.
