Risk factors and prevention of neonatal hypoglycemia / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the risk factors and prevention of non-diabetic mother neonatal hypoglycemia,in order to provide evidences for clinical diagnosis and avoid hypoglycemic brain injuries.Methods This was retrospective study using the method of case control.One hundred and eleven cases of non-diabetic mother neonatal hypoglycemia were enrolled in patients group,and 111 controls of normal blood glucose neonate at the same period were enrolled in control group.The risk factors of neonatal hypoglycemia and the results of neural development after hypoglycemia were analyzed.Results The risk factors of neonatal hypoglycemia were low-birth-weight infant(X2=4.066,P=0.044),small for gestation age infant (X2=21.125,P=0.000),congenital heart disease(X2=5.869,P=0.015),day-age≤3 days(X2=6.876,P=0.032),mother with pregnancy-induced hypertension(X2=6.618,P=0.010)or age<25 years old (X2=6.311,P=0.044).Full-term infants might be easier to show up hypogtycemic brain injuries than pre-term infants;the occurrence of hypoglycemic brain injuries correlated with the level of blood glucose and the lasting time of hypoglycemia.Conclusion Monitor blood glucose closely to the infant has risk factors of hypoglycemia,and discover and cure it on time,in order to avoid hypoglycemic brain injuries.
