Overview

Retrospective cohort study identifies key risk factors for neonatal hypoglycemia in at-risk newborns.

Key Points

  • The incidence rate of neonatal hypoglycemia was 3.1 per 100 neonatal days of observation.
  • Key predictors include female gender, neonatal sepsis, cesarean section, preterm birth, and gestational diabetes.
  • Retrospective cohort study among 308 neonates analyzed data from medical records over one year.
  • These findings emphasize the need for monitoring blood glucose levels in at-risk neonates during NICU stays.
