Background: Hypoglycemia in neonates is common and contributes to 4.0-5.8% of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions.

Study Design: This is a retrospective cohort study of late preterm and term neonates born in 2010-2014 and admitted to the Mother-Baby Unit at Parkland Hospital who had laboratory-proven blood glucose concentration < 40 mg/dL (2.2 mmol/L) during the first 72 hours of life.
Article Synopsis
- Hyperhemolysis syndrome (HHS) is a rare transfusion reaction that can occur in conditions like sickle cell disease, leading to a drop in hemoglobin levels after receiving red blood cell transfusions, along with signs of hemolysis.
- A reported case involved a 28-year-old male with sickle cell disease who experienced severe symptoms and a dramatic drop in hemoglobin after being transfused while infected with the omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2.
- The findings suggest that sickle cell patients with COVID-19 could be at an increased risk for HHS due to similar underlying mechanisms affecting both conditions.
Objectives: Determine sources of error in electronically extracted data from electronic health records.
Study Design: Categorical and continuous variables related to early-onset neonatal hypoglycemia were preselected and electronically extracted from records of 100 randomly selected neonates within 3479 births with laboratory-proven early-onset hypoglycemia. Extraction language was written by an information technologist and data validated by blinded manual chart review.
Objective: To determine the validity of screening and serial neutrophil counts in predicting the absence/presence of late-onset sepsis (LOS) in infants with central venous catheters.
Study Design: Retrospective study of infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (2009-2013) at Parkland Hospital with a central venous catheter and ≥1 LOS evaluations. Infants were categorized as proven or suspect LOS or uninfected based on results of blood cultures, clinical illness, and duration of antibiotics.
