Hyper-Hypo study: A Retrospective Observational Study of Neonatal Hypoglycemia Related to Maternal Hypertension by Thiruveni Ramkumar (17075051)

“…There was no significant difference in the mean initial blood glucose between neonates in the hypertensive versus non-hypertensive groups of mothers (1.7 vs 1.6 mmol/L). However, a sub-group comparison of neonates (with initial blood glucose <2.6 mmol/L) showed methyldopa to be marginally associated with a 2 mmol/L decrease from the mean initial blood glucose, mean 1.6 ± 0.5 mmol/L, and methyldopa (1.4 ± 0.5 mmol/L; p= .045). …”
