Risk of obstetric complications increases linearly with rising maternal glycemia. Testing hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is an effective option to detect hyperglycemia, but its association adverse pregnancy outcomes remains unclear. Emerging data sustain that early HbA1c ≥5.9% could act as a risk marker.To determine, in multiethnic cohort, whether be useful identify women without diabetes mellitus at increased risk.A prospective study was conducted Hospital del Mar, Barcelona, between April 2013 and...

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and heart failure have adverse clinical outcomes, but the characteristics prognosis of those undiagnosed in this setting has not been established. In total, 400 patients admitted consecutively acute were grouped three glycaemic categories: no diabetes, (previously reported or hypoglycaemic treatment) diabetes. The latter was defined by presence at least two measurements fasting plasma glycaemia ≥ 7 mmol/L before after episode.Group differences tested...

Abstract Background There has been a substantial increase in the use of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) to treat morbid obesity despite observational evidence demonstrating superiority Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) for reducing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. The main aim was ascertain whether high LDL cholesterol levels should be considered when selecting most appropriate surgical procedure each patient (RYGB or SG).

To evaluate the association between acute-to-chronic (A/C) glycemic ratio and mortality severity outcomes for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).A total of 91 were included. We measured glycemia at admission estimated average chronic glucose levels to calculate A/C ratio. The primary outcome was a composite in-hospital mortality, intensive care unit admission, mechanical ventilation.Thirty-five had event, presenting significant (hazard [HR]...

Overt diabetes (ODM) is defined as women without meeting the criteria for at first antenatal visit. The risk of obstetric complications increases linearly with maternal glycemia and poorer maternal-fetal outcomes than in gestational (GDM) may be expected. Studies focusing on ODM pregnancy are lacking. We aimed to analyze characteristics compared those GDM. A retrospective cohort study giving birth between January 2010 April 2013 was conducted. Participants pre-gestational were excluded. All...
