RESUMEN
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare pregnancy outcomes of patients with polyhydramnios due to late-onset gestational diabetes mellitus and patients with isolated polyhydramnios. METHODS: Of the women who fully participated in prenatal examinations at Etlik Lady Zübeyde Hospital between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2019, women with polyhydramnios of nonfetal-placental origin manifesting in the third trimester were retrospectively reviewed. Women with normal 75-g oral glucose tolerance test results between 24 and 28 weeks gestation who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study and divided into two groups based on the results of rescreening with the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test for polyhydramnios in the third trimester: women with isolated polyhydramnios (group 1) and women with late-onset polyhydramnios due to gestational diabetes mellitus (group 2). RESULTS: There were a total of 295 participants, of whom 35 (11.8%) were diagnosed with polyhydramnios due to late-onset gestational diabetes mellitus. There were no differences in the main outcomes. Birthweight and gestational age at birth were identified as independent risk factors for predicting composite maternal outcome {[odds ratio (OR)=1.273, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.063-1.524, p=0.009]} and composite neonatal outcome (OR=0.606, CI 0.494-0.744, p<0.001), respectively. CONCLUSION: Polyhydramnios in late pregnancy without evidence of pregnancy-related causes leading to polyhydramnios may be a sign of late-onset gestational diabetes mellitus in women with a normal prior oral glucose tolerance test. As pregnancy outcomes and management were indifferent, it does not seem necessary or useful to diagnose whether or not late-onset gestational diabetes mellitus is present.
RESUMEN
Abstract Backgraund: This prospective observational cohort study aimed to investigate the relationship between preoperative anxiety levels and postoperative pain and analgesic requirement in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Methods: Forty two female patients with body mass index ≥ 35, who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for treatment of obesity were included in the study. Spielberger's state and trait anxiety scales were used in this study. Demographic data of the patients, anesthetic and analgesic drugs during the surgery, pain levels measured with verbal analog scale at the postoperative 1st, 4th, 12th, and 24th hour, sedation levels measured with the Ramsay sedation scale, and the amount of analgesic consumed were recorded. Anesthesiologist, surgeon, and patient were not informed of the anxiety level results. The relationship between preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain and analgesic consumption was evaluated by Spearman's correlation analysis. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was applied. Normal Distribution control was performed by applying the Shapiro-Wilk test to residual values obtained from the final model. Results: There was no relationship between trait anxiety level and postoperative pain and analgesic consumption. A correlation was found between state anxiety level and pain level up to 24 hours and analgesic consumption (p < 0.05). According to the obtained model it had been observed that the university graduates consumed more analgesic compared to other education level groups. Conclusion: In this study, a relationship was found between preoperative state anxiety level and 24-hour pain scores and analgesic consumption in patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy under general anesthesia.
