Possibly. Elevated BMI is associated with an increased risk for stillbirth (strength of recommendation [SOR], B; cohort studies and meta-analysis of cohort studies). Three studies found an association between elevated BMI and stillbirth and one did not. However, no studies demonstrate that antenatal testing in pregnant people with higher BMIs decreases stillbirth rates, or that no harm is caused by unnecessary testing or resultant interventions.

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing, and owing to the aging population, the number of older adults with T2D is growing rapidly. By virtue of their age, older adults are likely to have been living with the disease longer than their younger counterparts. This, coupled with differences in T2D pathophysiology between younger and older patients, means that older adults often require advancement of treatment from basal insulin. However, older adults with T2D represent a heterogeneous population, for whom the goals of treatment are complex, and overtreatment can increase the risk of complications. These factors highlight the need for individualized glycemic targets and therapeutic strategies. In this roundtable, the authors discuss the management of older adults with T2D--a large patient population who often require treatment simplification.
Minimally. Regular moderate-intensity walking for a period of 4 or more weeks minimally decreased total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels by about 7 mg/dL in women with overweight or obesity (strength of recommendation [SOR]: C, systematic review and meta-analysis on disease-oriented evidence). For adults ages 40 to 65 years, regular walking for 3 or more months inconsistently affected cholesterol and triglyceride levels (SOR: C, based on 3 randomized controlled trials [RCTs] with disease-oriented evidence).
The rapid growth of this lesion provided an important clue in the diagnosis.
Predictive biomarker procalcitonin can aid clinical decision-making on continued antibiotic treatment in this patient population.

Despite the many benefits of shared decision-making, uptake of its practices is low. These tools and frameworks can help you to engage patients in their care decisions.
