These patientes were often admitted at 3 PM - sent over from the office - and we wanted an idea by the next morning. Even though we knew it wasn't the "gold standard" - we would do a 12 hour urine - and as soon as that was sent start a 24 hour urine. Then by the time we were doing rounds at 7-8 AM we had the data of how much was excreted in the 12 hours to make an initial decision of whether to start inducing know or whether we could sit on the time bomb for a bit... It semmed to pretty well correlate with the 24 hour one that we got the next day. I suppose we coule have thought of publishing... Joanne At Sat, 16 Mar 2002, Braun, R.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
