Does intrapartum corticosteroid use significantly increase the risk of gestational diabetes in women with inflammatory bowel disease?
Intrapartum corticosteroid use significantly increases the risk of gestational diabetes in women with IBD. Furthermore, IBD patients are at higher risk of preterm delivery and are more likely to undergo cesarean section compared with a healthy age-matched population. The finding of a higher risk of gestational diabetes is a novel finding not previously reported in the IBD literature.
Stent implantation, as well as compact coil packing, at the time of repeat embolization seems beneficial in reducing rates of further recanalization.
