Cureus | Association Between ABO Blood Group and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Pregnant Women at King Abdulaziz University Hospital: A Retrospective Study

Objective

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can occur during pregnancy. One of the leading causes of it is a hormone produced by the placenta that interferes with glucose absorption and causes glucose buildup in the bloodstream. Genetic variations between ethnicities are believed to be associated with GDM, and there has been some research on the association of ABO blood group with GDM in different populations. However, the results so far are inconsistent, and there is no conclusive evidence on how ABO blood group affects the occurrence of GDM. This study aims to examine the link between ABO blood group and GDM in pregnant women at King Abdulaziz University Hospital.

Methodology

A retrospective cohort study was conducted on a group of GDM patients between 2019 and 2022 using data collected from the patients’ medical records at King Abdulaziz University Hospital.

Results

The overall prevalence of GDM was high at 74.7%, and the percentage o ....

Cureus | Curriculum Mapping for Curriculum Development: The Notion of "Curriculum Barcoding" in View of the Saudi Medical Education Directives Framework (SaudiMEDs)

Objectives

This study aims to map the curriculum of the Faculty of Medicine at Tabuk University to assess its comparability with the SaudiMEDs competency framework.

Methodology

We developed a checklist based on the essential clinical presentations and skills listed in the SaudiMEDs to map our curriculum and determine the comparability. This cross-sectional descriptive study started on 1 September 2015 until 29 February 2016. The coordinators of the 34 modules completed the checklist and identified whether each clinical presentation or skill is taught in their relevant modules.

Results

Results showed that our curriculum is lacking in 3.9% of the clinical presentations and 23.9% of the skills deemed necessary by the SaudiMEDs, and require attention. Deficient skills were mainly hospital-based ones. The project yielded a content “expertise” map regarding where the main domains of knowledge and skills in the SaudiMEDs framework are addressed ....

Cureus | Incidence of Coronary Artery Disease in King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, 2019–2020: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Background

Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a significant cause of death and morbidity in people globally despite advances in treatment. Prevention of CAD risk factors is crucial to reducing its prevalence. We conducted this study to determine the incidence of CAD from 2019 to 2020 in King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), and its major risk factors among this population.

Method

This retrospective study involved all patients diagnosed with CAD at KAUH in 2019 and 2020. We analyzed validated hospital data to determine the incidence of CAD and identify the risk factors among participants. The incidence of CAD was calculated based on the total number of patients admitted to KAUH by gender, age group, and nationality (Saudi/non-Saudi).

Result

The study included 1,364 patients with a mean age of 49 years. Most patients were men (n=1,050; 77%), with fewer women (n=314; 23%), and 71.2% were non-Saudi. ....
