Avaliar o tratamento utilizado e a classificação de peso de recém-nascidos (RN) de gestantes portadoras de Diabetes Mellitus Gestacional (DMG). Foi realizado um estudo transversal descritivo com gestantes portadoras de DMG, em gestação única, no período de abril de 2011 a fevereiro de 2016. Os dados avaliados foram o tipo de tratamento utilizado e a classificação de peso do RN. Foram avaliadas 893 gestantes. A dieta e a atividade física como única terapêutica foram utilizadas por 306 (34,3%), 366 (41%) necessitaram metformina, a associação de metformina e insulina foi necessária em 109 (12,2%) e utilizaram somente insulinoterapia 112 (12,5%) gestantes. Houve 27 (3,0%) RN pequenos para a idade gestacional (PIG), 687 (76,9%) RN adequados para a idade gestacional (AIG) e 179 (20,0%) RN grandes para a idade gestacional (GIG). A metformina foi a terapêutica mais utilizada e a maioria dos recém-nascidos foram AIG.

Objective To evaluate the factors associated with the need for insulin as a complementary treatment to metformin in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods A case-control study was performed from April 2011 to February 2016 with pregnant women with GDM who needed complementary treatments besides diet and physical exercise. Those treated with metformin were compared with those who, in addition to metformin, also needed the combination with insulin. Maternal characteristics and glycemic control were evaluated. Multinomial logistic regression models were developed to evaluate the influence of different therapies on neonatal outcomes. Results A total of 475 pregnant women who needed pharmacological therapy were evaluated. Of these, 366 (77.05%) were submitted to single therapy with metformin, and 109 (22.94%) needed insulin as a complementary treatment. In the analysis of the odds ratio (OR), fasting glucose (FG) < 90 mg/dL reduced the odds of needing the combination (OR: 0.438 [0.235–0.815]; p = 0.009], as well as primiparity (OR: 0.280 [0.111–0.704]; p = 0.007]. In obese pregnant women, an increased chance of needing the combination was observed (OR: 2,072 [1,063–4,039]; p = 0,032). Conclusion Obesity resulted in an increased chance of the mother needing insulin as a complementary treatment to metformin, while FG < 90 mg/dL and primiparity were protective factors.

Objectives: to evaluate prenatal care provided to low-risk pregnant women users of the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) (Public Health System) in the city of Joinville, SC. Methods: this is a cross-sectional observational study carried out from March 2018 to February 2019, through interview and analysis of the Pregnant Card of puerperal over 18 years old, from Joinville, who underwent prenatal care at SUS, excluding recent given up puerperal. Prenatal care was evaluated according to the recommended criteria by the Prenatal and Birth Humanization Program. Results: 683 mothers were interviewed. The criteria with the highest levels of adequacy were accessibility (99.6%), early initiation on prenatal care (92.7%) and 6 or more consultations (87.1%) and the criteria with the lowest rates of adequacy were the set of guidelines (17.7%) and the third and first trimester exams (42.5% and 63.5% respectively). Conclusion: it is concluded that the prenatal care provided by SUS in the city of Joinville, despite the almost universal accessibility, the early onset and the prevalence of puerperal women with more than 6 consultations, showed a sharp decline in the analysis of the recommended indicators.
