Abstract: We report the effect of different forms of dysglycemia on the occurrence of neonatal hypoglycemia in a large cohort of pregnant women studied as a part of a PEARL-Peristat Study, funded by QNRF- Doha-QatarMethods: Out of 12255 pregnant women screened during 2016-2017, 3027 women were identified with gestational diabetes (GDM) (WHO criteria) and 233 were diabetic (DM) before pregnancy. All dysglycemic women were...

Introduction: Several factors contribute to the risk of neonatal macrosomia (NM) and its associated hypoglycemia (NH) in pregnant women.Objective: To determine the prevalence of NM and its association with NH in a large cohort of normoglycemic and dysglycemic women.Methods: Out of 12255 pregnant women screened during 2016-2017, 3027 women were identified with gestational diabetes (...

Background: Epidemiological studies have shown associations between placental weight (PW) and perinatal and postnatal linear growth and weight gain.Objectives: To report trimmed placental weight (PWT) and evaluate their association with birth weight (BWT), and gestational age (GA) in a large cohort of mother/ baby pairs in Qatar. (n= 80722).Methods: Retrospective data anal...

Introduction: Because of the associations and links between abnormal placental weight and both fetal and maternal disorders, it is important to have the national normal standard for placental weight as a normality reference.Aims: To find out the national placental weight standards for babies born between 37th and 43rd weeks of gestation in all groups of males and females babies born AGA, SGA, and LGA.<p class="abstex...

Introduction: Prematurity, post-maturity, and significant deviations in birth weight are associated with significant morbidities and mortalities.Aim: The aim of this study was to identify the cumulative incidence (CI) of premature, postmature, and term birth rates additionally to find out the prevalence of SGA, AGA, and LGA using INTERGROWTH-21 st fetal growth standards.Methods: Th...

Introduction: Many potential factors can affect or be influenced by placental size. These include gestational age, maternal age, race, socioeconomic status, and gender of the baby.Aim: We investigated the possible association/s between placental weight on the one hand and birth weight, gestational age, maternal age, and gender of the baby in a large cohort of newborns (n = 80722)Me...

In the history of biosynthetic GH, first prediction models on long term outcome of therapy were based on large multinational cohorts of various growth disorders and have concentrated on GH dose. In this study we analyzed the 1st year and final height (FH) data in a large single center cohort (center of expertise for rare growth disorders) and compared patient outcome and predictions in GHD and SGA. Our aim was to predict treatment outcome using simple previously suggested para...

Introduction: This was a population-based retrospective data analysis. The study was part of the Vulnerable Newborn Study, approved by the Hamad Medical Corporation Institutional Review Board (IRB No MRC-01-21-277).Setting and Participants: The population for this analysis comprised of a 4-year cohort data (January 2016 to December 2019) for births conducted in all HMC hospitals (representing 90% of all births in the cou...
