Low blood concentrations of glucose (hypoglycaemia) soon after birth are common because of the delayed metabolic transition from maternal to endogenous neonatal sources of glucose.

Associations between neonatal hypoglycaemia and brain volumes, cortical thickness and white matter microstructure in mid-childhood: An MRI study [PDF]
Neonatal hypoglycaemia is a common metabolic disorder that may cause brain damage, most visible in parieto-occipital regions on MRI in the acute phase. However, the long term effects of neonatal hypoglycaemia on the brain are not well understood.

What are the barriers preventing the screening and management of neonatal hypoglycaemia in low-resource settings, and how can they be overcome? [PDF]
Over 25 years ago, the World Health Organization (WHO) acknowledged the importance of effective prevention, detection and treatment of neonatal hypoglycaemia, and declared it to be a global priority.

Incidence and factors associated with neonatal hypoglycaemia in Chinese newborns delivered via caesarean section: a cross-sectional study. [PDF]
Background Neonatal hypoglycaemia is a common metabolic disorder in newborns and may be more frequent in infants delivered by caesarean section because of altered metabolic adaptation after birth. Evidence specific to Chinese caesarean-delivered newborns

Role of maternal variables on the development of neonatal hypoglycaemia and influence of neonatal hypoglycaemia on performance of goat kids. [PDF]
The study evaluated the influence of maternal variables (age, body weight and body mass index; BMI) during mating on the development of hypoglycaemia and investigated whether hypoglycaemia at birth impairs thermoregulation, metabolism, body weight gain ...

Cost burden and net monetary benefit loss of neonatal hypoglycaemia. [PDF]
Background Neonatal hypoglycaemia is a common but treatable metabolic disorder that affects newborn infants and which, if not identified and treated adequately, may result in neurological sequelae that persist for the lifetime of the patient.

Screening and diagnosis of neonatal hypoglycaemia in at-risk late preterm and term infants following AAP recommendations: a single centre retrospective study. [PDF]
Background There is a lack of consensus regarding the definition and treatment threshold for neonatal hypoglycaemia. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has a published clinical report making recommendations on practice guidelines.

Efficacy of Oral Dextrose Gel for Neonatal Hypoglycaemia: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials With 4368 Patients. [PDF]
Background Neonatal hypoglycaemia is a common metabolic disorder affecting up to 15% of healthy neonates and a higher proportion of at‐risk infants. Oral 40% dextrose gel has emerged as a promising, low‐cost intervention, but recent evidence remains ...

Development and evaluation of a clinical nursing decision support system for the prevention of neonatal hypoglycaemia. [PDF]
Background Hypoglycaemia is one of the most common complications during the neonatal period. Recurrent hypoglycaemia episodes can result in neurodevelopmental deficits and even sudden death.

Skin-to-skin contact for the prevention of neonatal hypoglycaemia: a systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
Background Skin-to-skin contact between mother and infant after birth is recommended to promote breastfeeding and maternal-infant bonding. However, its impact on the incidence of neonatal hypoglycaemia is unknown.
