Table 2 Relationship between blood glucose levels and adverse outcome in term infants with HIE (n = 52; however in 7 infants there were both hypoglycaemic and hyperglycaemic episodes documented, explaining the overlap)
| Â | No. of infants (n = 52) | No. of infants With abnormal outcome | Risk of adverse outcome OR (CI) |
|---|---|---|---|
Normoglycaemia | 24/52 | 9/24 (37.5%) | OR = 0.8, (CI = 0.26-2.44) |
Early hypoglycaemia (0-6 hours of life) | 8/52 | 6/8 (75%) | OR = 5.8, (CI = 1.04-32) |
Late hypoglycaemia (6-72 hours of life) | 12/52 | 2/12 (8.3%) | OR = 0.22, (CI = 0.04-1.14) |
Early hyperglycaemia (0-6 hours of life) | 11/52 | 4/11 (36.4%) | OR = 0.81, (CI = 0.2-3.2) |
Late hyperglycaemia (6-72 hours of life) | 4/52 | 2/4 (50%) | OR = 1.53, (CI = 0.2-11.8) |
