Weekly Trends In ED Admissions: Pregnancy & Gynaecological
Lessons from an undisclosed NHS Trust
This morning I have broken the total gynaecological series down into issues surrounding pregnancy/childbirth and general gynaecological issues and attach two slides for interest. Generalised Linear Modelling (GLM) indicates lack of an overall trend for pregnancy issues (p=0.632) as well as for general gynaecological (p=0.088), though with the later there does seem to be an incremental rate over the first 9 weeks of 2021.
Pregnancy: Braxton Hicks contractions; Eclampsia; Ectopic pregnancy; Incomplete miscarriage; Labour established; Miscarriage; Miscarriage with complication; Missed miscarriage; Postpartum haemorrhage; Pre-eclampsia; Puerperal sepsis; Retained products after miscarriage; Termination of pregnancy with complication; Threatened miscarriage.
General gynaecological: Dysmenorrhoea; Female pelvic inflammatory disease; Menorrhagia; Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome; Postmenopausal bleeding; Prolapse of female genital organs.
Well can’t say I know what to make of this, other than you’re very clever ! Maybe my own personal experience is sheer coincidence (or not as my experiences have been between November 21 and January 22), 4 babies arriving VERY early, not even into last trimester. Oddly, all have been little girls as well 🤔. As I say, possible that the universe is just throwing out something random.
