Term neonatal admissions for hypoglycaemia in England and Wales, 2012–2020: a population-based study using the National Neonatal Research Database
The publication of a national framework for term hypoglycaemia management was associated with a reduction in term NNU admission rates without delays in admission time or increased length of stay. One in two infants admitted for hypoglycaemia had no BAPM risk factors. Future research should explore birth weight between the 2nd centile and the 9.9th centile and above the 90th centile as additional factors that may further enhance hypoglycaemia risk stratification.
