“…There was no maternal or perinatal mortality. Diabetic control was achieved as described by Brudenell and Beard, 1972. Infant weight at delivery was expressed as a percentile above or below the normal mean corrected for gestational age, sex, and parity, and placental weight as the number of grammes above or below the normal mean after correction for gestational age.…”

ConclusionFrom the figures alone we cannot be encouraged in the hope that the large psychiatric hospitals will readily be emptied of their long-stay populations, by whatever means. In Salford, at least, it is a population ever longer-staying, not by any means al old, increasingly difficult to discharge, and dying only slowly. And we replenish it year by year with new patients. We must examine the people concerned to discover what the "need" really is and to make rational provision, but the hospital and social services must work closely together to achieve this.A further paper uses these and other data to estimate future demand for beds (Fryers, 1973 Summary A prospective study has been carried out of placental lactogen levels in pregnancy complicated by diabetes mellitus. The levels were higher than those in normal pregnant subjects; the higher levels were related to increased placental and fetal weight but more closely to the former; and lower levels were found when there was clinical evidence of placental dysfunction. Those patients requiring the largest insulin increment for the control of their diabetes in the pregnancy have placental lactogen levels in the higher range.

“…As delivery at about 37 or 38 weeks' gestation is the usual aim in pregnancy complicated by diabetes (Brudenell and Beard, 1972;Harley and Montgomery, 1973) it is suggested that amniocentesis should be performed, preferably after placental location by ultrasound, at 35 weeks and again just before delivery is planned to take into account the level and trend of fetal pulmonary surfactant in the amniotic fluid. The LSAR provides a relatively simple method which has the practical advantage that it can be used to test samples posted to a central laboratory.…”

“…The expected terminal rise did not occur or was not sustained in three out of ten diabetic patients. Because neonatal respiratory distress, even in babies born at or near term, is a particular risk of pregnancy complicated by diabetes (Brudenell and Beard, 1972) a more extensive study has been carried out in pregnant women with established diabetes or in whom latent diabetes was demonstrated.…”

The Amniotic Fluid Lecithin : Sphingomyelin Area Ratio (Lsar) in Pregnancies Complicated by Diabetes

Summary The lecithin : sphingomyelin area ratio (LSAR) was measured in 108 samples of amniotic fluid obtained after 32 weeks' gestation from 66 pregnant diabetics and in 34 samples from 27 women with latent diabetes during pregnancy. A previously reported finding that the normal terminal rise in the ratio did not occur in approximately one‐third of such patients was confirmed. The clinical value of this test, in timing delivery to minimize the risk of neonatal respiratory distress, is discussed; its routine use in pregnancies complicated by established or latent diabetes is advocated.
