Abstract
Hyperglycemia affects one of each four of preterm neonates. Hyperglycemia is related to neonatal factors more than maternal factors. Glucose infusion, stressful systematic illnesses and associated drug administration are the main risk factors.
Hyperglycemia is associated with higher risk of mortality. The relation between hyperglycemia and IVH, sepsis and RDS is bidirectional and each can predispose to the other.
We recommended to:
1. Practice high suspicion index in managing preterm infants to prevent, suspect and early management of hyperglycemia.
2. Maternal factors have minor role in precipitating neonatal hyperglycemia expect their contribution in determining the gestational age.
3. More investigation is needed to elucidate the cause-effect relation between hyperglycemia and other neonatal morbidities.
