Abstract

Objective: To study the incidence and some clinical, subclinical characteristics of hyperglycemic preterm infants at the National Hospital of Pediatrics. Subject and method: 208 preterm infants (≤ 32 weeks) treated at the NICU, National Pediatric Hospital from October 2019 to July 2020. Result: The incidence of hyperglycaemia in preterm infants was 62.5%, particularly there were 81.2% in preterm infants less than 28 weeks and 88.5% in preterm infants with birthweight ≤ 1000g with hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia preterm infant had statistically significantly higher heart rate, hypotension rate and CRP levels compared to infants with normal blood glucose. Conclusion: Hyperglycaemia was common in preterm infants, especially in preterm infants under 28 weeks of age and extremely very low birth weight.
