Implication

This review demonstrates associations between transient neonatal hypoglycemia and neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants, suggesting increased vulnerability for some groups.

Key Points

To synthesize evidence on the impact of transient neonatal hypoglycemia on long-term brain development outcomes.
Conducted a structured narrative review of human studies on TNH
Integrated data from population-based cohorts and systematic reviews
Analyzed connections with continuous glucose monitoring and neurodevelopment
TNH is linked to increased risk of selective neurodevelopmental differences, especially in executive function and fine motor skills
Recurrent or prolonged TNH episodes are more likely in at-risk infants, like those small for gestational age
Population analyses report associations with later learning and attention issues, though results are confounded
