Study Notes

Neonatal Hyperglycemia

  • Neonatal hyperglycemia is defined as a blood glucose concentration of more than 125 mg/dL in term infants and more than 150 mg/dL in preterm infants.
  • There are no universally accepted clinical definitions of hyperglycemia in newborns.
  • The upper limit of the normal range of glucose concentrations in fetal life is 108 mg/dL.

Incidence of Neonatal Hyperglycemia

  • The incidence of neonatal hyperglycemia is difficult to determine.
  • In one study, 86% of infants with birth weights under 1100 g were hyperglycemic.

Fetal and Neonatal Neurology

  • An understanding of the development of the nervous system is necessary for understanding fetal and neonatal neurology.
  • Disturbances of neural development are commonly seen in the neonatal period.
  • The brain develops rapidly during fetal and neonatal periods.
  • Common insults to the fetus and newborn can have far-reaching effects on neural development.
  • The effects of insults on neural development may not be easily detected using available techniques.
