Continuous Insulin Infusion

FORTY TO 80 PERCENT OF VERY LOW birth weight (VLBW) (infants <1,500 g) and extremely low birth weight (ELBW) (infants <1,000 g) infants will develop hyperglycemia when provided with glucose infusions adequate to meet basal metabolic needs.1,2 Avoiding hyperglycemia while providing adequate nutrition to promote growth and development is a major challenge for health care providers in the NICU. Some health care providers suggest that the judious use of continuous insulin infusion (CII) may provide the opportunity for increasing nutritional support while maintaining euglycemia. A systematic review of the literature is presented to evaluate the evidence supporting this practice.

Objectives. We examined association between incidence rate of low birth weight in liveborn infants and maternal sociodemographic status in Tuzla Canton during 1992–1995 war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.Methods. The present study covers a 22-year period (1988–2009), including the war period (1992–1995), and we retrospectively collected data on a total of 108 316 liveborn infants and their mothers from three different socioeconomic periods: before (1988–1991), during (1992–1995), and after the war (1996–2009). Association between incidence rate of low birth weight in liveborn infants and maternal sociodemographic status were determined for each study period.Results. There were 23 194 live births in the prewar, 18 302 during the war, and 66 820 in the postwar period. Among the liveborn infants born during the war, 1373 (7.5%) had birth weight of <2500 g, which is significantly more in comparison with 851 (3.6%) liveborn infants in this birth weight group born before and 1864 (2.8%) after the war. We found the number of examinations during pregnancy was 1.8 per pregnant woman in the war period, which was low in comparison with the number of examinations before (4.6 per pregnant woman) and after (7.1 per pregnant woman) the war ( for both). Prewar perinatal mortality LBW infants of 6.2 per 1000 live births increased to 10.8 per 1000 live births during the war (), but after the war, perinatal mortality LBW infants (5.2‰) and early neonatal mortality (2.4‰) decreased.Conclusions. We found statistically significant association between low-birth-weight and maternal sociodemographic status in Tuzla Canton during 1992–1995 war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
