摘要

Objective

This study describes neonatal hypoglycemia (NH) screening for infants born to mothers without adequate oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT).

Study design

In this single-center, retrospective study, authors reviewed live births of term and late-preterm infants at a single military hospital from 2014 to 2021. All mothers without adequate OGTT were identified. Charts were evaluated to assess NH screening practices for infants.

Results

Out of 13,338 deliveries, 0.98% (131) of infants were born to mothers without adequate OGTT. One hundred and two of these infants had no other indication for NH screening. Sixty-eight percent (69/102) of these infants were screened with at least one point of care (POC) blood glucose measurement and 61.7% (63/102) were screened with at least three POC glucose measurements.

Conclusion

A small percentage of mothers in this population didn’t receive adequate OGTT. Sixty-eight percent of the infants born to these mothers were screened for NH.
