background: hypoglycemia is one of the most common neonatal disorders, associated with severe complications. there has been a great deal of controversy regarding the definition and screening of hypoglycemia. therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine a cut-off value for blood glucose level in glucometer readings. methods: this cross-sectional study was conducted on 238 newborns at risk of ...

Introduction: Neonatal sepsis, and Neonatal septiemia are terms that have been used to describe the systemic response to infection in newborn infants. Sepsis can affect neonatal metabolism and the level of blood sugar. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalance of “Hypoglycemia” in neonates with primary diagnosis of sepsis in neonatal ward and NICU of khorrammabad pediatric hospital on...

Aim: Primary aim of this study is to compare the neonatal and maternal complications women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) treated insulin or followed by diet. Secondary evaluate rate cesarean section indications that.
 Methods: Women GDM were divided into two groups as (n=110) diet (n=200). Demographic data, antenatal follow-up measurements, gestational week at birth type deliver...

Glasgow et al reported a cost-utility analysis (CUA) of prophylactic dextrose gel compared with standard care for neonatal hypoglycemia in at-risk infants. 1 M.J. Edlin R. Harding J.E. Cost-utility vs J Pediatr. 2020; 226: 80-86.e1 Abstract Full Text PDF Scopus (4) Google Scholar They found that this simple intervention not only reduced long-term morbidity and mortality, but also saved money. T...

Point of care glucose (POCG) measurements, used for detecting neonatal hypoglycemia, can have variable accuracy. The appropriate diagnosis of neonatal hypoglycemia in babies with low POCG measurements involves confirmatory serum glucose (CSG) testing. At our institution, no babies with low POCG measurements had CSG testing in their evaluation of neonatal hypoglycemia over a three year period. O...

Hypoglycemia is the most common metabolic disorder encountered in neonates. The definition of hypoglycemia as well as its clinical significance and management remain controversial. Most cases of neonatal hypoglycemia are transient, respond readily to treatment, and are associated with an excellent prognosis. Persistent hypoglycemia is more likely to be associated with abnormal endocrine conditi...

Rohrer's ponderal index in newborns (birth weight * 100/height3) has been used as an indicator of fetal growth status, especially to assess asymmetrical intrauterine growth retardation. Low ponderal index or disproportionate intrauterine growth retardation has higher neonatal morbidity and there are some specific guidelines in intrauterine growth retarded infants to control some of their pr...

the term congenital hypopituitarism defines deficiency of all of the pituitary hormones. hypoglycemia and microphallus (in males) are common findings, and some infants have shown evidence of the neonatal hepatitis syndrome. we report a case of congenital panhypopituitarism with deficiency of six major hormones and association with severe hypoglycemia, impaired liver function tests and congenita...
