Abstract

Purpose : Stress hyperglycemia is common in critically ill adult patients. It is known as a predictor of increased mortality, and intensive insulin therapy has been shown to improve the prognosis in such patients. We have investigated the relationship between early stress hyperglycemia and clinical outcomes in preterm infants. Methods : In this study, 141 preterm infants with a gestational age of less than 30 weeks were enrolled. The hyperglycemic group was defined as that having maximum glucose of more than 150 mg/dL (n=61) during the first 48 h of life, and the non-hyperglycemic group was defined as that having maximum glucose of less than 150 mg/dL (n=80). Perinatal history, severity of illness using the Clinical Risk Index for Babies (CRIB) score, clinical outcomes, and mortality of the two groups were compared. Results : There was no significant difference in the gestational age between the two groups, but the birth weight (P<0.001) was significantly lower, and the CRIB score (P<0.001) was significantly higher in the hyperglycemic group. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (P<0.001) and clinically suspected sepsis (P=0.046) were more common in the hyperglycemic group. Mortality was markedly higher in the hyperglycemic group (11.3% vs. 41.0%, P<0.001). On performing a stepwise multiple logistic regression analysis, hyperglycemia (OR 3.787; 95% CI 1.324 to 10.829), the CRIB score (OR 1.252; 95% CI 1.047 to 1.496) and birth weight (OR 0.997; 95% CI 0.994 to 1.000) was independently associated with higher mortality. Conclusion : Stress hyperglycemia within the first 48 h of life is independently related to increased morbidity and mortality in preterm infants.

목 적 : 스트레스성 고혈당은 중환자의 급성 질병기에 흔히 동반되며, 이는 여러 질환의 유병율과 사망률을 증가시킨다. 이 연구는 미숙아에서 생후 48시간 이내에 나타나는 스트레스성 고혈당이 예후에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 재태 주령 30주 이하의 신생아 141명을 대상으로, 생후 48시간동안 혈당이 한번이라도 150 mg/dL 이상이었던 고혈당군(n=61)과 모두 150 mg/dL 미만이었던 비고혈당군(n=80)으로 분류하였다. 두 군의 분만력 상의 특징, CRIB score를 이용한 임상적 중증도, 임상 경과, 예후 및 사망률에 대해 비교하였다. 결 과 : 두 군의 재태 주령은 차이가 없었으나, 고혈당군에서 비고혈당군에 비해 출생체중은 더 작았고(P<0.001), CRIB 점수는 더 높았다(P<0.001). 임상적으로 패혈증이 의심된 경우와 파종성 혈관내응고증은 고혈당군에서 더 많았으며(P=0.046, P< 0.001), 사망률은 고혈당군이 41.0%, 비고혈당군이 11.3%로 고혈당군에서 월등히 높았다(P<0.001). 단계적 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과, 고혈당(OR 3.787; 95% CI 1.324 to 10.829)은 CRIB score (OR 1.252; 95% CI 1.047 to 1.496), 출생체중(OR 0.997; 95% CI 0.994 to 1.000)과 함께 사망률에 독립적으로 의미 있는 영향을 미쳤다. 결 론 : 30주 이하의 미숙아에서 생후 48시간 이내에 나타나는 스트레스성 고혈당은 임상 경과의 악화 및 사망률의 증가와 독립적인 연관성을 보였다.
