METHODS
To examine whether perinatal hypoxia increases the risk of occurrence of hypoglycaemia--between first and second hour of life--in newborn of the diabetic mother.
METHODS
The study material consisted of 151 newborns born to 58 pregestational and 93 gestational diabetes mothers. The occurrence of hypoglycaemia was examined in accordance with some perinatal hypoxia indicators such as: 1 and 5 minutes Apgar scores, umbilical arterial blood gas analysis and cord blood erythropoietin (EPO) level.
RESULTS
Newborns of the diabetic mothers in whom hypoglycaemia was recognised had lower 1 minutes Apgar scores, lower pH values, higher pCO2 values and higher EPO levels than those, in whom normoglycaemia was recognised.
CONCLUSIONS
Low 1 minutes Apgar scores and occurrence of even mild perinatal hypoxia are factors increasing the risk of hypoglycaemia in the group of newborns of the diabetic mothers in the time between first and second hour of life.
