Multivariable regression to evaluate the impact of hypoglycemia status and other factors on neurodevelopmental outcomes in patients without a genetic anomaly (N = 167)
Bayley-III composite score | Covariates | Beta coefficient (95% CI) | P value* |
---|---|---|---|
Cognitive | Moderate to severe hypoglycemia | –9.6 (–17.8 to –1.3) | .02 |
Language† | Moderate to severe hypoglycemia | –9.3 (–17.7 to –1.0) | .03 |
Maternal education: high school diploma or lower | –4.0 (–7.9 to –0.2) | .04 | |
Cardiac ICU duration of stay, d | |||
<2 | Reference | ||
2-4.99 | –2.6 (–7.0 to 1.9) | .26 | |
≥5 | –7.8 (–12.5 to –3.0) | .002 | |
Motor | Moderate to severe hypoglycemia | –11.8 (–21.0 to –2.6) | .01 |
Age ≤60 days | 11.5 (6.7 to 16.3) | <.001 | |
RACHS-1 category ≥3 or not assignable | –8.6 (–13.3 to –3.9) | <.001 | |
Delayed sternal closure | –7.3 (–13.2 to –1.3) | .02 |
P values were calculated with the use of multivariable linear regression with adjustment for site. Coefficients for intercept and site are not reported.
N = 164. Maternal education was not available for 3 patients with no to mild hypoglycemia, including one patient for whom the Bayley-III language composite score was not available.
