Analysis was stratified by diabetes type. Results: Overall, Pregnancy-IVI achieved a higher proportion of on-IVI time-in-range (70%, IQR 56-78%) compared to Adult-IVI (52%, IQR 41-69%, p < 0.0001). The duration of critical hyperglycaemia with Pregnancy-IVI was also reduced (2% [IQR 0-7] vs 8% [IQR 4-17], p < 0.0001), without an increase in hypoglycaemia. Glycaemic variability was significantly reduced with Pregnancy-IVI. No difference in the rate of neonatal hypoglycaemia was observed. The Pregnancy-IVI was most effective in women with Type 1 diabetes. Conclusion: The Pregnancy-IVI algorithm is safe and effective when used following betamethasone in type 1 diabetes in pregnancy. Further study of women with type 2 diabetes is required.]]> Wed 22 Nov 2023 16:02:08 AEDT ]]> Antenatal corticosteroid administration for foetal lung maturation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38469 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:04:13 AEDT ]]>
