Association between interstitial glucose (IG) parameters in six-hour epochs following neonatal hypoglycaemia and neurosensory impairment in early childhood. Exposure effect is presented as odds of neurosensory impairment by tertile of IG parameter (referent middle tertile). Results adjusted for socio-economic status, gestational age, birth weight Z score and blood glucose concentration at the beginning of the epoch. Triangles denote tertile 1, circles tertile 2 (reference) and squares tertile 3. Tertile values are as follows: hours to reach maximum IG (1: 0.4–2.2; 2: 2.3–4.2; 3: 4.3–6.0), average IG (1: 1.7–2.9; 2: 2.9–3.3; 3: 3.4–6.2 mmol/L), maximum IG (1: 2.6–3.4; 2: 3.5–4.0; 3: 4.1–8.7 mmol/L), minimum IG (1: 0.1–2.1; 2: 2.1–2.3; 3: 2.4–2.8 mmol/L), IG range (1: 0.3–1.2; 2: 1.3–1.9; 3: 2.0–7.0 mmol/L), proportion of IG measurements outside central band of 3–4 mmol/L (1: 0.06–0.39; 2: 0.40–0.68; 3: 0.69–1.00), hours <2.6 mmol/L (1:0.2–0.5; 2: 0.6–1.3; 3: 1.4–5.9).
