متن کاملDo the new threshold levels for the diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus correctly identify women at risk?
Pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are at risk for certain neonatal complications. The International Association of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) blood glucose level (BGL) diagnostic thresholds correspond to an odds ratio of at least 1.75 for selected complications (1). In the Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome (HAPO) study (2), 16.1% of subjects...
متن کاملClinical review: How to identify high-risk surgical patients
Postoperative outcome is mainly influenced by ventricular function. Tests designed to identify myocardial ischemia alone will fail to detect cardiac failure and are thus inadequate as a screening test for identification of cardiac risk in noncardiac surgical patients. We find that the degree of cardiac failure is the most important predictor of morbidity and mortality. We use cardiopulmonary ex...
متن کاملKeep it simple: vascular risk factors and focal exam findings correctly identify posterior circulation ischemia in “dizzy” patients
BACKGROUND Dizziness is a common chief complaint of patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED). Physicians must quickly and accurately identify patients whose etiology is most likely ischemia. Additional tools are available, but often require further training (vestibular testing) or are costly and not always readily available (magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)). This study evaluates th...
