Diagnostic accuracy of fetal renal pelvis anteroposterior diameter as a predictor of significant postnatal nephrouropathy: Second versus third trimester of pregnancy

Article Abstract:

A study is carried out to determine the most effective fetal renal pelvis anteroposterior diameter thresholds and the best gestational age in predicting significant neonatal nephrouropathy and neonatal nephrouropathy requiring surgery. It is found that the significant neonatal nephrouropathy is better predicted at the third trimester, the best threshold being 8 mm, though the screening of patients at greater risk of surgery is also possible during the second trimester.

Development of a clinical prediction rule for iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to elucidate that whether anemia in pregnancy caused by iron deficiency could be predicted by simple measures on a complete blood count (CBC). Though lower cost tests are useful for determining iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy, the study was limited to African American population and hence the results might not be generalized.
