Determinants of neonatal hypoglycemia among neonates admitted at Hiwot Fana Comprehensive Specialized University Hospital, Eastern Ethiopia: A retrospective cross-sectional study.

The magnitude of neonatal hypoglycemia was quite common among neonates. Neonatal hypoglycemia was found to be predicted by preterm birth, hypothermia, neonatal sepsis, maternal diabetes mellitus, and delay in starting nursing. We therefore strongly suggest health-care workers work in the postnatal unit to manage and control these and other determinant factors of hypoglycemia to prevent the occurrence of neonatal hypoglycemia.
