Queries: Obesity as risk factor in preterm labor/Contact tracing
Posted by Mala S.
Question 1: Regarding obesity as a risk factor for preterm labour,could you kindly clarify:Though only low BMI is consistently stated as a risk factor,High Risk Pregnancy by James et al pg 1075,mentions"increase in BMI {the epidemic of obesity} as a risk factor.The MCQ in your module on preterm labour negates this.
Question 2: How does one approach contact tracing in a case of STI/PID ,or partner protection in a newly diagnosed case of HIV,in case the patient refuses/or is irresponsible in informing/seeking treatment of her partner/s?When, if at all ,do patient confidentiality issues conflict/over ride larger public health duties of protection from harm?
