Can Lower Gestational Diabetes Cutoff Improve Outcomes in Kids?
Using a lower threshold for diagnosing gestational diabetes in mothers didn’t reduce the risk of large-for-gestational-age infants, according to the GEMS trial. After randomizing over 4,000 pregnant women, 15.3% were diagnosed with gestational diabetes using lower, and commonly recommended, glycemic criteria versus 6.1% using a higher threshold, Caroline Crowther, MD, of the University of Auckland […]
Another Bioresorbable Stent Hits a Snag
A novel bioresorbable stent failed to meet the threshold for noninferiority compared with durable devices in the OPTIMIZE trial, and researchers suggested rising troponin use may have played a role. The Svelte stent, designed to facilitate direct stenting and transradial access in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), did not differ significantly from metallic everolimus-eluting stents with […]
