Observational study associates glucose management and catecholamines with illness severity in vulnerable infants.
Urinary catecholamines in infants born preterm correlate with severity of illness and BG levels. Whether postnatal catecholamines directly influence beta-cell physiology in infants born preterm remains to be elucidated and should be addressed in future studies. A better understanding of the biologic mechanism might help improve glucose management in this vulnerable population.
