P values for the comparison between groups were calculated with the use of linear regression or stratified exact tests with adjustment for site, as appropriate.
Maternal education not available for 3 patients with no to mild hypoglycemia.
Bayley-III language composite score and receptive and expressive communication subscale scores were not available for 1 patient with no to mild hypoglycemia.
