Overview

Prospective cross-sectional study assesses hypoglycemia prevalence and associated factors in neonates, indicating urgent interventions are needed.

Key Points

  • Of the 130 neonates, 28.5% were found to be hypoglycemic, highlighting a significant health concern.
  • Significant factors associated with hypoglycemia included prematurity (p = 0.030) and delayed feeding (p = 0.001) among others.
  • A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted, collecting data through structured questionnaires and glucometer readings.
  • Findings emphasize the need for early glucose monitoring and timely interventions to improve outcomes for hypoglycemic neonates.
