Implication

Systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrate formula's uncertain effect on neonatal hypoglycaemia treatment, highlighting its potential advantage over oral dextrose gel.

Key Points

The findings indicate that infant formula may have uncertain effects on preventing neonatal hypoglycaemia, and more research is needed.
Evidence showed that formula may correct neonatal hypoglycaemia better than oral dextrose gel, with a low certainty level in a small trial.
Randomised controlled trials and cohort studies were analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of infant formula in newborns.
These findings may influence clinical practice regarding treating neonatal hypoglycaemia, though further studies are warranted.
