Are recurrent hyperglycemic episodes and median blood glucose level a prognostic factor for increased morbidity and mortality in premature infants ≤1500 g?

Abstract: Premature infants with low gestational age (<27 weeks), elevated median blood glucose levels and/or repeatedly elevated blood glucose levels >/=150 mg/dL have a significantly increased mortality. However, further prospective studies considering the gestational age should determine the relationship between tight glucose control and mortality.

“…Elevated blood glucose levels (BG) (Hyperglycaemia) is a common complication of prematurity and stress in neonatal intensive care, and while definitions and thresholds vary [11], studies show that 30-70% of very/extremely low birth weight infants have at least one BG> 8 mmol/L [12][13][14][15][16]. Hyperglycaemia is associated with increased mortality [15][16][17], and morbidity/complications in this cohort [15][16][17][18][19][20][21], but there is still debate over whether hyperglycaemia causes increased morbidity, or is reflective of worsened condition.…”

“…Up to 32%-80% of low birth weight infants experience hyperglycaemia with glucose levels exceeding thresholds of 6.9 to 13.9 mmol/L during the neonatal period [1][2][3][4][5]. The risk of hyperglycaemia is at least 18 times greater in infants with birth-weight less and 1,000 grams compared to infants weighing greater than 2,000 grams [6].…”

“…Hyperglycaemia has been linked to worsened outcomes. Associated morbidities include osmotic diuresis, electrolyte imbalance, intraventricular haemorrhage, sepsis, and increased ventilator dependence, retinopathy of prematurity, hospital length of stay and mortality [2][3][4][5][7][8][9]. High rates of proteolysis are also common in low birth weight infants, reducing muscle mass and inhibiting growth [10].…”

“…Em relação aos pacientes recém-nascidos, Heimann et al 17 avaliaram de maneira retrospectiva os prontuários de 252 recém-nascidos prematuros com peso de nascimento menor ou igual a 1500 g admitidos na unidade neonatal pelo período de quatro anos avaliaram os possíveis efeitos da hiperglicemia nesta faixa etária.Durante tal análise, foram considerados como desfechos a taxa de mortalidade e a incidência de sepse, hemorragia periintraventricular e retinopatia da prematuridade. Os recém-nascidos que morreram na primeira semana de vida tiveram níveis significativamente maiores que aqueles que sobreviveram com nível de significância "p" < 0,0001.…”
