Neonatal hyperinsulinism: a retrospective study of presentation and management in a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit in the UK
This study highlights the diversity in clinical presentation, severity and prognosis of neonatal hyperinsulinism, irrespective of birth weight and gestational age. More infants were small rather than large for gestational age, and the majority had transient hyperinsulinism and were not referred to the national centre, or treated with diazoxide. Further research is required to understand the breadth of neonatal hyperinsulinism and optimal management.
