Isolated polyhydramnios in the third trimester or polyhydramnios secondary to late-onset gestational diabetes: is it worth distinguishing?
The aim of this study was to compare pregnancy outcomes of patients with polyhydramnios due to late-onset gestational diabetes mellitus and patients with isolated polyhydramnios. ⋯ Polyhydramnios in late pregnancy without evidence of pregnancy-related causes leading to polyhydramnios may be a sign of late-onset gestational diabetes mellitus in women with a normal prior oral glucose tolerance test. As pregnancy outcomes and management were indifferent, it does not seem necessary or useful to diagnose whether or not late-onset gestational diabetes mellitus is present.

Can the SYNTAX score predict mortality in patients with cardiac arrest?

This study aimed to reveal the relationship between coronary angiographic findings and cardiac death secondary to acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction. ⋯ The chronic total occlusion presence and SYNTAX score may predict death after cardiac arrest secondary to ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
