To Examine if the Mother's Glucose Levels and Glucose Levels in the Blood Can Predict Cord Hypoglycemia in Newborns at Risk.

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: Phase 3
• Study type: Interventional

Summary

Background Neonatal hypoglycemia is one of the most common metabolic disorders in neonatology. Maintaining stable levels of glucose in the transition from fetal life to life after birth is very important. Yet, except for the recognizing of at-risk populations, there are not many individual measures which can help and predict which newborns (from at-risk populations) will develop hypoglycemia and which will not. OBJECTIVE our objective is to try to characterize by the mother's glucose levels at birth and by umbilical cord glucose levels who would be at increased risk of hypoglycemia in the hours after birth in the population that is at increased risk of this complication in advance.

OBJECTIVE our objective is to try to characterize by the mother's glucose levels at birth and by umbilical cord glucose levels who would be at increased risk of hypoglycemia in the hours after birth in the population that is at increased risk of this complication in advance. PATIENTS \& METHODS All women who arrived to the delivery room at Lis hospital and which the newborn is about to undergo glucose levels follow-up after birth regardless the study, because his affiliation to the at-risk population including: delivery below 37th week, maternal diabetes during pregnancy and newborns in weight under percentile 10 or above percentile 90 by Dolberg graphs.
