An increase in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) prevalence has been demonstrated across many countries with adoption of the International Association Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) diagnostic criteria. Here, we determine cumulative incidence abnormal glucose tolerance among women previous GDM, identify clinical risk factors predicting this.Two hundred seventy IADPSG-defined GDM were prospectively followed up for 5years (mean 2.6) post-index pregnancy, compared 388 normal...
This study aimed to collect and analyse examples of poor teamwork between junior doctors nurses; identify the failures contributing team function; ascertain if particular are associated with higher levels risk patients.Critical Incident Technique interviews were carried out nurses.Two teaching hospitals in Republic Ireland.Junior (n = 28) nurses 8) provided descriptions scenarios teamwork. The coded against a theoretical framework healthcare function by three psychologists also rated for...
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle intervention can prevent progression to in high populations. We designed randomised controlled trial (RCT) evaluate effectiveness an established lifestyle compared standard care delaying onset European women with recent GDM. Recruitment into RCT was more challenging than anticipated only 89 410 (22%) agreeing participate. This paper identifies factors that could enhance participation target...
Previous gestational diabetes (GDM) is associated with a significant lifetime risk of type 2 diabetes. In this study, we assessed the performance HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) measurements against that 75 g oral tolerance testing (OGTT) for follow-up screening women previous GDM.Two hundred sixty-six GDM underwent (mean 2.6 years (s.d. 1.0) post-index pregnancy) using (100%), OGTT (89%) or FPG (11%). American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria abnormal were used.The ADA high-risk...
Objective . To evaluate a 12-week group-based lifestyle intervention programme for women with prediabetes following gestational diabetes (GDM). Design A two-group, mixed methods randomized controlled trial in which 50 history of GDM and abnormal glucose tolerance postpartum were randomly assigned to (<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"><mml:mi>n</mml:mi><mml:mo>=</mml:mo><mml:mn>24</mml:mn></mml:math>) or wait control...
ABSTRACT Background Junior doctors have been found to suffer from high levels of burnout. Aims To measure burnout in a population junior Ireland and identify if: are similar US medical residents; there is change the pattern during first year postgraduate clinical practice; associated with self-reported error. Methods The Maslach Burnout Inventory—Human Services Survey was distributed Irish five training networks last quarter 2015 when they were approximately 4 months into their practice...
Abstract Aims This paper examines the association between gestational diabetes mellitus and costs of care during pregnancy 2–5 years post pregnancy. Methods Healthcare utilization was measured for a sample 658 women drawn from Atlantic Diabetes in Pregnancy (ATLANTIC DIP) network. assessed subsample 348 via postal questionnaire. A vector unit applied to healthcare activity calculate at both time points. Differences cost with compared those normal glucose tolerance were examined using...
Objective: This qualitative study examined the healthy lifestyle behaviours undertaken during and after a pregnancy complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) factors that influenced likelihood of undertaking such behaviours. Methods: Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with women who had GDM in previous 3–7 years. Interviews analysed using theoretical thematic analysis approach. Results: Thirteen provided as part this study. Women typically engaged terms diet,...
To better understand how human error contributes to U.S. Navy diving accidents.An analysis of 263 accident and mishap reports revealed that the factors classifications were not informative for further analysis, 70% mishaps attributed unknown causes; only 23% factors.Five fatality examined using consensual qualitative research (CQR) method develop a taxonomy six categories 21 subcategories classifying errors in diving. In addition, 15 critical incident technique (CIT) interviews conducted...
Universal screening using the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) criteria has identified a prevalence gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) 12.4% in women living Ireland. Women with prior GDM are at increased risk developing type 2 later life. A number factors linked to development potentially modifiable through lifestyle behaviour changes, medical management. No previous Irish studies have adequately investigated efficacy intervention programmes reducing...
There is no consensus on the effect of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) health-related quality life (HRQOL) for mother in short or long term. In this study we examined HRQOL a group women who had GDM index pregnancy 2 to 5 years previously and compared it with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) during same time period.The sample included 234 met International Association Diabetes Study Groups (IADPSG) criteria 108 NGT. The was drawn from ATLATIC-DIP (Diabetes Pregnancy) cohort - network...
The risks associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are well recognized, and there is increasing evidence to support treatment of the condition. However, clear guidance on ideal approach screening for GDM lacking. Professional groups continue debate whether selective (based risk factors) or universal most appropriate approach. Additionally, ongoing about what levels glucose abnormalities during pregnancy respond best which maternal neonatal outcomes benefit from treatment....
