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 comparing maternal nutrition in cases and controls in a context of similar risk factors. One to 2 mothers of control neonates were included per case, and a food frequency questionnaire was addressed to the mothers between day 5 and day 10 after the birth of their newborn.

Results

Crude odds ratio showed that maternal weight gain, abnormal fetal rate, C-section, gender, consumption of fresh cooked vegetables, fresh fruits and fruit juices, low fat diary products, light fat products, and daily bread were significantly associated with hyperinsulinism. Maternal body mass index, hypertension, gestational diabetes, birth weight percentile, gestational age and 5-minute Apgar score were not related to HI. In a multiple backward logistic regression model, consumption of fresh cooked vegetable ?1/day (OR = 0.33 [0.14-0.77]) and light-fat products ?1/week (OR = 0.24 [0.08-0.71]) was protective against hyperinsulinism, whereas gestational weight gain >20 kg (OR = 9.5 [2.0-45.5]) and between 15-20 kg (OR = 4.0 [1.2-14.0]), abnormal fetal heart rate (OR = 4.4 [1.6-12.0]), and C-section (OR = 3.4 [1.3-8.9]) were risk factors.

Conclusions

A diet rich in fresh cooked vegetable and reduced in fat, together with the avoidance of a high gestational weight gain may be protective against transient neonatal hyperinsulinism.

Project description:Importance:Among the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals is to reduce the neonatal mortality rate to 12 per 1000 live births by 2030. Identifying high-risk pregnancies can help achieve this target in low-resource countries, such as India, which accounts for one-fourth of global neonatal deaths. Objective:To analyze the association of maternal history of neonatal death with subsequent neonatal mortality. Design, Setting, and Participants:This cross-sectional study included a nationally representative sample of singleton live births from multiparous women. Data were obtained from the 2016 National Family Health Survey in India. Data were analyzed from November 2018 to January 2020. Exposures:Maternal history of neonatal death and a comprehensive set of covariates, including socioeconomic environment, maternal anthropometry, and pregnancy care. Main Outcomes and Measures:Subsequent neonatal mortality. Population-attributable risk associated with history of neonatal death was calculated, and sensitivity analyses were performed. Results:The overall study population consisted of 127 336 singleton live births from multiparous women aged 15 to 49 (mean [SD] age, 28.8 [5.2] years) years when the survey was undertaken. In our analytic sample, 11 101 (8.7%) mothers had a history of neonatal death, and 506 of 2224 total neonatal deaths (22.8%) were attributed to women with history of neonatal death. The prevalence of history of neonatal death differed by selected covariates and across states or union territories. Maternal history of neonatal death was associated with significantly higher odds of neonatal mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 2.23; 95% CI, 1.96-2.55), and this remained consistent across different subgroups. The population-attributable risk associated with maternal history of neonatal death was 11.8%. Stronger associations were found for maternal history of multiple neonatal deaths (adjusted odds ratio, 3.50; 95% CI, 2.78-4.41) and in respect to the risk of mortality in early neonatal period (ie, 0-2 completed days) (adjusted odds ratio, 2.45; 95% CI, 2.09-2.86). Conclusions and Relevance:These findings suggest that maternal history of neonatal death is a potentially useful risk factor to identify women and neonates who may need extended and enhanced pregnancy care.

Project description:ObjectiveAim was to identify hypotheses why adverse neurodevelopment still occurs in children with transient or persistent hyperinsulinism despite improvements in long-term treatment options during the last decades.Material and methodsA retrospective review of 87 children with transient (n=37) or persistent congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) (n=50) was conducted at the University Children's Hospital Duesseldorf, Germany. Possible risk factors for neurodevelopmental sequelae due to hypoglycemia were analyzed with a focus on the first days after onset of disease.ResultsMedian age at follow-up was 7 years (IQR 8). Adverse neurodevelopmental outcome was seen in 34.5% (n=30) of all CHI patients. Fifteen had mildly abnormal neurodevelopment and 15 had a severe hypoglycemic brain injury. In univariate analysis, mildly abnormal neurodevelopment was associated with the diagnosis of persistent CHI (odds ratio (OR) 8.3; p=0.004) and higher birth weight (mean difference 1049 g; p<0.001). Severe hypoglycemic brain injury was associated with the diagnosis of persistent CHI (OR 5.1; p=0.013), being born abroad (OR 18.3; p<0.001) or in a lower-level maternity hospital (OR 4.8; p=0.039), and of note history of hypoglycemic seizures (OR 13.0; p=<0.001), and a delay between first symptoms of hypoglycemia and first blood glucose measurement/initiation of treatment (OR 10.7; p<0.001). Children with severe hypoglycemic brain injury had lower recorded blood glucose (mean difference -8.34 mg/dl; p=0.022) and higher birth weight than children with normal development (mean difference 829 g; p=0.012). In multivariate binary logistic regression models, lowest blood glucose <20 mg/dl (OR 134.3; p=0.004), a delay between initial symptoms and first blood glucose measurement/initiation of treatment (OR 71.7; p=0.017) and hypoglycemic seizures (OR 12.9; p=0.008) were positively correlated with severe brain injury. Analysis showed that the odds for brain injury decreased by 15% (OR 0.85; p=0.035) if the blood glucose increased by one unit.ConclusionWhile some risk factors for adverse outcome in CHI are not influenceable, others like lowest recorded blood glucose values <20 mg/dl, hypoglycemic seizures, and insufficiently-or even untreated hypoglycemia can be avoided. Future guidelines for management of neonatal hypoglycemia should address this by ensuring early identification and immediate treatment with appropriate escalation steps.

Project description:BackgroundUse of real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM) systems has been shown to be a low-pain, safe, and effective method of preventing hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia in people with diabetes of various age groups. Evidence on rtCGM use in infants and in patients with conditions other than diabetes remains limited.ObjectiveThis case study describes the off-label use of rtCGM and the use of an open-source app for glucose monitoring in a newborn with prolonged hypoglycemia secondary to transient congenital hyperinsulinism during the perinatal period.MethodsThe Dexcom G6 rtCGM system (Dexcom, Inc) was introduced at 39 hours of age. Capillary blood glucose checks were performed regularly. In order to benefit from customizable alert settings and detect hypoglycemic episodes, the open-source rtCGM app xDrip+ was introduced at 9 days of age.ResultsTime in range (45-180 mg/dL) for interstitial glucose remained consistently above 90%, whereas time in hypoglycemia (<45 mg/dL) decreased. Mean glucose was maintained above 70 mg/dL at 72 hours of life and thereafter. Daily sensor glucose profiles showed cyclic fluctuations that were less pronounced over time.ConclusionsWhile off-label use of medication is both common practice and a necessity in newborn infants, there are few examples of off-label uses of medical devices, rtCGM being a notable exception. Real-time information allowed us to better understand glycemic patterns and to improve the quality of glycemic control accordingly. Severe hypoglycemia was prevented, and measurement of serum levels of insulin and further lab diagnostics were performed much faster, while the patient's individual burden caused by invasive procedures was reduced. Greater customizability of threshold and alert settings would be beneficial for user groups with glycemic instability other than people with diabetes, and for hospitalized newborn infants in particular. Further research in the field of personal and off-label rtCGM use, efficacy studies evaluating the accuracy of low glucose readings, and studies on the differences between algorithms in translating raw sensor data, as well as customization of commercially available rtCGM systems, is needed.

Project description:Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in neonates is a rare and heterogeneous disorder which is characterized by hypertrophy of heart with histological and functional disruption of the myocardial structure/composition. The prognosis of HCM depends on the underlying diagnosis. In this review, we emphasize the importance to consider hyperinsulinism in the differential diagnosis of HCM, as hyperinsulinism is widely associated with cardiac hypertrophy (CH) which cannot be distinguished from HCM on echocardiographic examination. We supply an overview of the incidence and treatment strategies of neonatal CH in a broad spectrum of hyperinsulinemic diseases. Reviewing the literature, we found that CH is reported in 13 to 44% of infants of diabetic mothers, in approximately 40% of infants with congenital hyperinsulinism, in 61% of infants with leprechaunism and in 48 to 61% of the patients with congenital generalized lipodystrophy. The correct diagnosis is of importance since there is a large variation in prognoses and there are various strategies to treat CH in hyperinsulinemic diseases.Conclusion: The relationship between CH and hyperinsulism has implications for clinical practice as it might help to establish the correct diagnosis in neonates with cardiac hypertrophy which has both prognostic and therapeutic consequences. In addition, CH should be recognized as a potential comorbidity which might necessitate treatment in all neonates with known hyperinsulinism.What is Known:• Hyperinsulinism is currently not acknowledged as a cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in textbooks and recent Pediatric Cardiomyopathy Registry publications.What is New:• This article presents an overview of the literature of hyperinsulinism in neonates and infants showing that hyperinsulinism is associated with cardiac hypertrophy (CH) in a broad range of hyperinsulinemic diseases.• As CH cannot be distinguished from HCM on echocardiographic examination, we emphasize the importance to consider hyperinsulinism in the differential diagnosis of HCM/CH as establishing the correct diagnosis has both prognostic and therapeutic consequences.
