Hypoglycemia in newborn infants: Features associated with adverse outcomes

Biology of the Neonate
Paul J Rozance, William W Hay

Abstract

The purpose of this review article is to document from the literature values of blood/plasma glucose concentration and associated clinical signs and conditions in newborn infants (both term and preterm) that indicate a reasonable clinical probability that hypoglycemia is a proximate cause of acute and/or sustained neurological injury and to review the physiological and pathophysiological responses to hypoglycemia that may influence the ultimate outcome of newborns with low blood glucose. Our overall conclusion is that there is inadequate information in the literature to define any one value of glucose below which irreparable hypoglycemic injury to the central nervous system occurs, at any one time or for any defined period of time, in a population of infants or in any given infant. Clinical signs of prolonged and severe neurological disturbance (coma, seizures), extremely and persistently low plasma/blood glucose concentrations (0 to <1.0 mmol/l [0 to <18-20 mg/dl] for more than 1-2 h), and the absence of other obvious central nervous system (CNS) pathology (hypoxia-ischemia, intracranial hemorrhage, infection, etc.) are important for the diagnosis of injury due to glucose deficiency. Specific conditions, such as persistent hyp...Continue Reading
