Effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure or Positional Therapy Compared to Control for Treatment of  Obstructive Sleep Apnea on the Development of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Pregnancy: Protocol for Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure or Positional Therapy Compared to Control for Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea on the Development of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Pregnancy: Protocol for Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in pregnancy increases from 3.6% in early pregnancy to 8.3% in midpregnancy and is associated with an independent risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), preeclampsia, and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) [2]. In addition, emerging evidence suggests that the presence of SDB before pregnancy may place women at an increased risk of developing GDM [3].

Informatics Interventions for Maternal Morbidity: Scoping Review

Informatics Interventions for Maternal Morbidity: Scoping Review

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a condition that in many cases resolves itself after delivery, can still affect mothers beyond the puerperium [3]. Severe maternal morbidity (SMM) encompasses myriad conditions, including acute myocardial infarction, eclampsia, and hemorrhage. Those who have experienced SMM are more likely to die at any point after delivery and into the decades beyond the postpartum period [4].

Barriers to and Facilitators of Using eHealth to Support Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Self-management: Systematic Literature Review of Perceptions of Health Care Professionals and Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

Barriers to and Facilitators of Using eHealth to Support Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Self-management: Systematic Literature Review of Perceptions of Health Care Professionals and Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

GDM is most prevalent in the Middle East and North Africa, with an estimated median of 12.9%, and least prevalent in Europe, with an estimated median of 5.8% of all pregnancies [5]. In the United Kingdom, the prevalence of GDM is approximately 4% of all pregnancies [6]. The rate of GDM is likely to rise owing to a growth in GDM risk factors, such as greater prevalence of maternal obesity and advancing age of childbearing [7], leading to an increasing demand for GDM clinical services [8].

Comparing the Efficacy of a Mobile Phone-Based Blood Glucose Management System With Standard Clinic Care in Women With Gestational Diabetes: Randomized Controlled Trial

Comparing the Efficacy of a Mobile Phone-Based Blood Glucose Management System With Standard Clinic Care in Women With Gestational Diabetes: Randomized Controlled Trial

The prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is increasing, creating demand for sustainable, cost-effective, and innovative approaches to care. There is enthusiasm for integration of digital technologies into health systems [1]. Although there is some evidence of clinical benefit with the use of digital health technologies in type 1 and 2 diabetes [2-4], large studies are lacking in the GDM population.
