ABSTRACT
To evaluate eight years incidence of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus [GDM]. A retrospective study. Primary Healthcare, Bahrain. Five hundred sixty-two patients suffering from GDM were identified in 2002 and were traced in 2010 for laboratory diagnosis of diabetes. Two hundred one [36%] patients were found to be diabetic. One hundred one [18%] were normal, 33 [5.8%] had impaired glucose tolerance [IGT] and 227 [40.4%] were of undetermined status. There is a statistically significant relation between the development of diabetes and the age at diagnosis of GDM. The long-term rate development of diabetes after GDM is high. Age and level of screening test at diagnosis are strong predictive factors

Estimate the prevalence of urinary tract infection in pregnancy in Bahrain and describe the associated risk factors. Descriptive cross-sectional study during the period of one year from 1 st of February 2002 till 31 st of January 2003. All primary health care centers in Bahrain. 343 cases of pregnant women with UTI. The prevalence of UTI in pregnant women was 3.2%. 61.2% of them had asymptomatic bacteriuria. For the group studied 60.1% were in low socioeconomic class. On reviewing their history, 19.9% of the ladies had history of previous UTI, 10.6% of them were sickle cell trait and 2.2% had B- thalasimia minor. The prevalence of anemia among the study group was 32.7%. The most common organism was E coli [53.4%], the second most common organism was Beta hemolytic streptococci which constitute [22.2%] of the cases. The antibiotic which was sensitive to most organisms was Cifuroxime [Zinnat] [97.2%]. The relatively high prevalence of ASB during pregnancy justify screening pregnant women for bacteriuria at 12-16 weeks of gestation
