Improving standards in the scientific biomedical community in Romania by using journal ranking to improve journal quality.

The paper articulates the problems of journal publication in a relatively small country such as Romania where locally (i.e. nationally) published journals include most of the national medical scientific output. The starting point was a study ordered by the Cluj University of Medicine and Pharmacy Scientific Council, for the purpose of obtaining an objectively ranked list of all current Romanian biomedical journals that could be used in the evaluation of the scientific activity of the university academic staff. Sixty-five current biomedical journals were identified--of which more than half were new titles that had appeared over the past 5 years. None of these are included in the Science Citation Index or Journal Citation Reports (JCR). A set of criteria was used for ranking the journals: peer review, inclusion in international databases, publication time lag, language of articles and abstracts, journal specific index and domestic impact factor. The period covered, along with tools and formulas used are presented. The problems of Romanian biomedical journals as well as ways of improving publishing standards are discussed. Also emphasized is the necessity for increased awareness in the medical scholarly community and the role of the library in this respect.

Recurrence of gestational diabetes: who is at risk?

OBJECTIVE: The object was to determine the recurrence rate of gestational diabetes mellitus and to find various risk factors that might increase this rate. STUDY DESIGN: Seventy-eight patients with gestational diabetes mellitus in their index pregnancies were evaluated in subsequent pregnancies. Medical records for the index and subsequent pregnancies were abstracted for age, parity, body mass index, birth weight, gestational age of gestational diabetes mellitus diagnosis, insulin requirement, weight gain, and interval between pregnancies. These variables were then compared between patients with and without gestational diabetes mellitus in their subsequent pregnancies. RESULTS: Fifty-four of 78 patients (69%) had gestational diabetes mellitus in a subsequent pregnancy. The recurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus was more common when the following variables were present in the index pregnancy: parity > or = 1 (P < .004; odds ratio 3.0, 95% confidence interval 1.4-4.8), body mass index > or = 30 kg/m2 (P < .04; odds ratio 3.6, 95% confidence interval 1.1-25.9), gestational diabetes mellitus diagnosis at < or = 24 gestational weeks (P < .0003; odds ratio 20.4, 95% confidence interval 2.5-444), and insulin requirement (P < .0002; odds ratio 2.3, 95% confidence interval 1.3-3.4). A weight gain of > or = 15 pounds (P < .003; odds ratio 2.9, 95% confidence interval 1.0-5.3) and an interval between pregnancies < or = 24 months (P < .03; odds ratio 1.6, 95% confidence interval 1.1-2.2) were also associated with a recurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus. A multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that an interval of < or = 24 months and a weight gain of > or = 15 pounds between pregnancies were most strongly correlated with a recurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus. CONCLUSIONS: Gestational diabetes mellitus is more likely to recur in parous, obese women who had an early gestational diabetes mellitus diagnosis and required insulin in the index pregnancy. In addition, a shorter interval (< or = 24 months) and a larger weight gain (> or = 15 pounds) between pregnancies appear to be the most significant risk factors for a recurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus.
