Correlation between Blood Glucose Level in Cord Blood and Capillary Blood of Neonates using Glucometer
Introduction: Metabolic disorders like hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia are much common in neonates as compared to any other age groups. Infants are born with a blood glucose concentration of 60 to 70% of the maternal levels and it falls during the first 24 hours. Transient low blood glucose lev...

| description | Introduction: Metabolic disorders like hypoglycaemia and
hyperglycaemia are much common in neonates as compared
to any other age groups. Infants are born with a blood glucose
concentration of 60 to 70% of the maternal levels and it falls
during the first 24 hours. Transient low blood glucose levels are
common after birth as the glucose supply to neonates changes
from a continuous transplacental supply from the mother to an
intermittent supply from feeds.
Aim: To find out the correlation between glucose levels in cord
blood and capillary blood of neonates using glucometer soon
after birth and to determine the prevalence of hypoglycaemia
and hyperglycaemia among the study population.
Materials and Methods: The study was a hospital based
cross-sectional study and the study population included
1100 newborns who satisfied inclusion criteria. The glucose
measurements were obtained using standard equipments and
procedures. Data coded and entered into Microsoft excel, then
analysed using SPSS software.
Results: Results showed that there was a significant correlation
between cord blood glucose and capillary blood glucose
values (Pearson correlation coefficient r=0.894, p<.001). Linear
regression done for predicting capillary blood sugar from cord
blood sugar. The prevalence of hypoglycaemia as per the
current study is 6.5%. Hyperglycaemia was detected in two of
the study population accounting for 0.2%.
Conclusion: There is significant correlation between cord
blood glucose and capillary blood glucose. The prevalence
of hypoglycaemia was higher among low birth weight babies.
So cord blood glucose values can be used as a predictor
for hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia in newborns soon
after birth. Thereby, early detection and intervention of these
glycaemic disturbances can prevent grave complications. |
