[Risk factors on hyperglycemia in newborn infants].

OBJECTIVE

To investigate high risk factors of neonatal hyperglycemia.

METHODS

According to the gestational age, postnatal age, weight, hypoxia, infection, 336 hospitalized newborns receiving continuous intravenous infusion of glucose controlled by pump were divided into the study and control groups respectively, the incidences of hyperglycemia between two groups were analysed statistically.

RESULTS

The results showed that the high risk factors of neonatal hyperglycemia were gestational age ( < 37 week), postnatal age ( < 72h), weight ( < 2 500g), hypoxia and (or) infection.

CONCLUSIONS

In neonates with one or more high risk factors of hyperglycemia, strict control of infusion speed; treatment of original diseases and frequent monitoring of blood glucose should be noted.
