Table 1.
Perinatal and clinical characteristics of healthy preterm infants stratified by gestational age group. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation, total number and percentage (%), or median and interquartile range ([IQR]). GA: gestational age.
Table 2.
Daily mean glucose concentrations, standard desviation (SD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) during the first 14 days of life (n = 103). The table shows the number of glucose measurements, mean glucose concentration, SD and corresponding CIs for each day of life.
Table 3.
Summary of daily glucose predicted percentiles (p5 and p95) by GA group during the first 14 days of life.
Fig 1.
Predicted percentile curves (p10, p25, p50, p75 and p90) of glucose concentrations during the first 14 days of life in infants born at 24–26 weeks of GA.
Fig 2.
Predicted percentile curves (p10, p25, p50, p75, and p90) of glucose concentrations during the first 14 days of life in infants born at 27–29 weeks of GA.
Fig 3.
Predicted percentile curves (p10, p25, p50, p75, and p90) of glucose concentrations during the first 14 days of life in infants born at 30–32 weeks of GA.
Fig 4.
Distribution of glucose concentrations during the first 14 days of life in healthy preterm infants, stratified by GA groups (24–26, 27–29, and 30–32 GA).
Fig 5.
Longitudinal glucose concentration trajectories over the first 14 days of life in healthy preterm infants stratified by gestational age groups (24–26, 27–29, and 30–32 weeks).
Solid lines represent the mean glucose concentrations, and shaded areas indicate the standard deviation.
Fig 6.
Coefficient of variation of blood glucose levels during the first 14 days of life in preterm infants according to GA groups (24-26, 27-29, and 30-32 weeks).
Data were smoothed using LOESS (locally estimated scatterplot smoothing).
