Determining Potential Risk Factors for Epilepsy in Children with Neonatal Hypoglycemia.

Neonatal hypoglycemia significantly raises the likelihood of developing epilepsy in later childhood. This risk is particularly high when the newborn requires an extended stay in the NICU, experiences delayed onset of hypoglycemia, or has a family history of epilepsy. Prompt recognition and focused intervention for newborns with these risk factors are essential to minimize the chances of developing epilepsy and related neurodevelopmental issues.
