Recurrence of hypoglycaemia and associated factors among neonates admitted with perinatal asphyxia in Northwest Ethiopia: multicentre, retrospective follow-up study with negative binomial regression
The current study indicated that the mean recurrence of hypoglycaemia in newborns experiencing perinatal asphyxia was considerably higher. Presence of neonatal meningitis, delayed initiation of feeding 72 hours after birth, stage 3 hypoxic-ischaemic injury, length of hospital stay and macrosomia were the key factors associated with recurrence of hypoglycaemia.
