The National Pregnancy in Diabetes (NPID) Audit is part of the National Diabetes Audit (NDA) programme, and is commissioned by The Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) as part of the National Clinical Audit (NCA) programme.
The NPID 2015 report is the third annual report from a continuous audit of the quality of care and outcomes for women with diabetes who become pregnant. The audit looks at three key questions:
- Were women adequately prepared for pregnancy?
- Were adverse maternal outcomes during pregnancy minimised?
- Were adverse fetal/infant outcomes minimised?
This report includes data on women with diabetes with completed pregnancies between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2015 and where the data was submitted to the audit by 12 February 2016.
In 2015, 3,044 pregnancies in 3,036 women with diabetes were recorded by 155 antenatal diabetes services in England, Wales and the Isle of Man. In addition to the national report, the NPID Audit has produced service level data for the first time.
