Independent predictors of blood glucose in term infants in multiple linear regression analysis (n=515)
| Variable |
Estimated effect on blood glucose in mmol/l (95% CI) | p Value |
| Age (hours) when bled after birth | 0.012 (0.006 to 0.018) | <0.001 |
| Infant haemoglobin (g/dl) | −0.06 (−0.09 to −0.03) | <0.001 |
| Maternal haemoglobin (g/dl) | 0.04 (0 to 0.07) | 0.05 |
The estimated effect on blood glucose is the change in blood glucose (mmol/l) for a unit increase in a continuous variable.
