Association of maternal nutrition with transient neonatal hyperinsulinism.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The objective was to determine whether maternal nutritional factors are associated with transient neonatal hyperinsulinism (HI).

Design and setting

Case control study in 4 French tertiary Obstetrics and Neonatology Departments between 2008 and 2015.

Methods

Sixty-seven mothers of neonates diagnosed with transient hyperinsulinism and 113 mothers of controls were included. The screening for hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in neonates was performed because of clinical symptoms suggestive of hypoglycemia or in the presence of conventional risk factors (small-for-gestational-age, prematurity, anoxo-ischemia, hypothermia, macrosomia, gestational diabetes). Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia was confirmed in the HI neonates and ruled out in the controls. This allowed for
