This paper is a critique of a secondary data analysis using information from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS). The purpose of this study was to calculate the percentage of gestational diabetes cases that can be linked to overweight and obese prepregnancy weights. The researchers concluded that almost half of gestational diabetes cases can be prevented if the risk of developing GDM is the same for obese and normal weighted women. Since PRAMS only provides data from participating states, and the study only used seven of those states, the study has a weak external validity. In addition, the prepregnancy weights recorded in PRAMS are self reported, which often leads to women underreporting their weights.

There are several tests that can be performed on patients in order to determine whether they may have heart failure. Exams should be performed on an individual who presents with the common symptoms or signs of heart failure such as dyspnea, tachycardia, or edema.15 Tests may also be done on individuals who don’t necessarily present with symptoms of heart failure, but may be at risk due to increasing age. A physical exam is usually first in line when assessing someone for potential heart failure. Often times physicians will ask about medical or family history.
