Hypoglycemia in small for gestational age infants in a level III NICU: An observational study

Hypoglycemia is a common occurrence in SGA neonates. Majority of episodes of hypoglycemia occur within 24 h of age, warranting periodic blood sugar monitoring during this period and establishing early aggressive nutritional supply among these high risk neonates. Abnormal UA Doppler velocity is an independent risk factor for hypoglycemia in these neonates.
