Abstract

Hypoglycemia is a common morbidity in preterm infants. It might cause transient and permanent disturbances in brain structural and have impact on neurological development. The criteria for identifying preterm infants who are at risk of hypoglycemia remain unclear. This study was conducted to determine incidence of hypoglycemia in preterm infants and associated with maternal and neonatal risk factors. A cross-sectional study on 50 consecutive preterm infants on hospitals in Medan, Indonesia from June to August 2018. Maternal and neonatal risk factors were recorded. Blood glucose levels were obtained from venous blood sample and were checked serial from the time of delivery within the first hour of life until discharged from hospital or 72 hours of age. Univariate and bivariate (Chi square and Fisher exact test) analysis were performed with 95% CI and P value <0.05 were considered statistically significant. Out of 50 preterm infants, there were 13 infants experienced hypoglycemia (26%). Preterm infants with birth weight <2500 gr and 32-<35 weeks of gestational age were significantly increased the risk of developing hypoglycemia (p=0.010, PR=4.69; p=0.021, PR= 3.11, respectively). There were significant associations between birth weight <2500 gr and gestational age 32-<35 weeks with hypoglycemia.
