Development and validation of a risk prediction model for early-onset hypoglycemia in preterm infants

Key Points

• This research aims to develop and validate a model to predict early-onset hypoglycemia in preterm infants.
• Developed a risk prediction model
• Validated the model's predictive ability
• Suggests the need for further multicenter studies for external validation
• The model demonstrated promising predictive ability for early-onset hypoglycemia
• It could help in risk stratification strategies for preterm infants
• Further validation is required before clinical implementation
