Abstract:
Objective To explore the risk factors of newborns with hypoglycemia and its prevention methods.Methods Clinical data of 1342 newborns were analyzed retrospectively,and the risk factors of newborns with hypoglycemia and its prevention methods were summarized.Results Of 1342 newborns,104 cases(7.75%)were confirmed with diagnoses of neonatal hypoglycemia.The duration of 56 cases(53.85%)was less than 1 day and 9 cases(8.65%)was more than 3 days,while 39 cases(37.5%)was 1 day to 3 days.The incidence of hypoglycemia of newborns(gestational age<37 weeks)was higher than that of those newborns(gestational age ≥ 37 weeks)(P<0.05).The incidence of hypoglycemia with the birth weight from 2500g to 4000g was lower than the newborns with the birth weight more than 4000g or less than 2500g(P<0.05).The incidence of hypoglycemia of vaginal delivery newborns was lower than that of cesarean sectior newborns(P<0.05).Conclusion The key point of treatment for newborns with hypoglycemia is prevention.For the neonates who are likely to suffer from hypoglycemia,blood sugar level needs to monitor frequently.Early diagnosis,detection and corrective measures could avoid damages to the central nervous system of neonates caused by hypoglycemia.
