The 21st International Society of Hypertension in Pregnancy (ISSHP) meeting was held in São Paulo, Brazil from 23 to 26 October 2016. The discourse at this Congress brought global maternal health into the foray among basic science and clinical research. In concordance with the United Nations sustainable development goals which warrant an integrated view to health with investments in adolescence and childhood, the research at Congress focussed on a ‘life course’ approach to maternal health – examining intergenerational effects of maternal obesity and hypertension on the behavioral and physical developments of infants. Bringing in research from the Global South highlighted inequities in treatment and management of women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, in addition to the challenges in adoption of recommendations generated in Global North. The evidence shared can serve as platform for further discourse on global maternal health and in generating accountability to close the ‘evidence to policy’ gap.

Objetivos: Avaliar o perfil clínico e laboratorial de crianças e adolescentes com diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1) e relacionar a adesão ao tratamento com os valores da hemoglobina glicada (HbA1c). Métodos: Foi realizada análise do prontuário de 56 pacientes (2 a 17 anos) atendidos no ambulatório de endocrinologia pediátrica do Conjunto Hospitalar de Sorocaba, durante o período de agosto de 2013 a julho de 2014. Dados como idade, duração da doença, etiologia do diabetes (autoimune ou idiopático), tipo e número de aplicações diárias de insulina, rodízio no local de aplicação, valor de HbA1c, monitorização da glicemia capilar, ingestão de doces e refrigerantes e prática de atividade física foram avaliados. Para a análise estatística, admitiram-se dois grupos: mau controle = HbA1c>9%; e bom controle = HbA1c≤9%, de acordo com a International Society of Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD). Resultados: A idade média do grupo foi igual a 10,5 anos: com 53,6% (n=30) dos pacientes em estado de cetoacidose diabética ao diagnóstico e 57,1% (n=32) deles com valor de HbA1c>9% no momento do estudo. O grupo de mau controle mostrou maiores idades, sendo composto principalmente por adolescentes (p=0,0230). A ingestão semanal de refrigerante foi associada ao grupo de mau controle (p=0,0500). Os demais fatores estudados não mostraram diferença estatística em relação aos grupos. Conclusões: Um grande percentual de pacientes com DM1 apresentou controle inadequado da doença, principalmente na faixa etária adolescente. O diagnóstico do DM1 na infância e na adolescência ainda é tardio, com elevada presença de cetoacidose diabética ao diagnóstico.
