Hypoglycemia Incidence in Babies Identified as at Risk

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the incidence of hypoglycemia in babies at risk and to examine our follow-up results up to 48 hours postnatally. It is also aimed at comparing the demographic characteristics of babies with and without hypoglycemics.

Methods: The newborns screened with hypoglycemia ICD code were evaluated in terms of risk factors, and the patients were grouped according to risk factors. All babies at risk were screened up to 48 hours postnatally. hypoglycemia was defined as a blood glucose concentration <47 mg/dl, regardless of the age of the baby.

Results: Blood glucose concentration first 48 hours after birth was measured in 823 babies with the hypoglycemia ICD code. Hypoglycemia was detected in 251 (30.4%) of these babies. 215 (26%) out of 823 babies were screened for having at least one risk factor for hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia was detected in 149 (69.3%) of them. Incidence of hypoglycemia increased in all babies at risk except infant of diabetic mother. Even through although almost all of the babies at risk developed hypoglycemia in the first 24 hours, we detected hypoglycemia in 7 of them(4.6%) during postnatal 24-48 hours. There were statistically significant differences in demographic characteristics of babies at risk who did and did not become hypoglycemic.

Conclusions: Hypoglycemia is common in babies at risk. Without early detection and timely diagnosis and treatment can cause negative consequences of neurological and developmental. therefore, continuous monitoring of blood glucose level in babies at risk should be performed to reduce its impact.
