Improving outcomes and reducing variance in diabetes pregnancy in the EAHSN (‘EASIPOD2’) Murphy (CUHFT) / Temple (NNUHFT)
Serious adverse outcome rates (major malformation and perinatal mortality) are about 55/1000 diabetes births, a three to fourfold higher rate than in the background maternity population.
EASIPOD programme (2007 -2009) reduced East of England adverse outcomes from 7.8 to 1.3% (p = 0.009), based on improved preconception care and is a simple primary and secondary care based preconception education programme for patients and HCP
Wide variance in outcomes driven by ethnicity, obesity, deprivation
Intervention To restart improved EASIPOD programme for all practices and all Acute Trusts
Primary end point Foetal loss and major malformation (at 6 weeks post partum)
Impact 1000 + women with diabetes deliver over 5 years in EAHSN area, and potentially 40 + prevented major foetal malformations /perinatal deaths and reduced variance in pre pregnancy care and pathways
Reducing admissions for severe acute hypoglycaemia (SAHE) in EAHSN area Sampson NNUHFT/All
Over 9,000 blue light 999 severe acute hypoglycaemia calls annually in EAHSN area .
Annual tariff-indirect cost £2.1M
Hypoglycaemia one of 5 National Clinical Performance Indicators for Ambulance Trust
High proportion of frequent fliers . Evidence base for prevention through education and action.
2 – 4 fold variance in EAHSN area for hospital conveyance , admissions and readmissions with hypoglycaemiaIntervention To develop new single point of contact service and OOH
service with enhanced case management pathways linked to new BPT, with Ambulance Trust collaboration.
Primary end point VisiCad Ambulance Trust data for Hypo
Impact A reduction of SAHE events by 20% through reducing recurrent episodes would be over 1000 SAHE admissions and contacts avoided per annum

Outcomes
Improve awareness/access to PPC for T2D women (currently 30% attend)
Improve quality of PPC for women with T1D who do not attend (currently <50% T1D who attend achieve Hba1c <7%)
Target hard to reach high risk women with T1D or T2D (previously poor outcomes)
2 Specialist Midwives to provide women with support and education. ([email protected])
Pre-Pregnancy Care Project
Steps taken so far… Contacted Practices in East and North Herts to ask to send
