The investigators propose to prospectively conduct a neurodevelopmental evaluation of SGA and late preterm neonates who underwent risk-based screening for hypoglycemia at newborn nursery during the first 24 hours of life based on AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) hypoglycemia guidelines at 18 to 24 months of age. As per internal neonatal unit protocol (reflecting AAP guidelines), all neonates at risk of hypoglycemia (all preterm infants, term infants who are SGA or LGA and IDM) are routinely screened for hypoglycemia during the first 24 hours of life via bedside point of care glucose devices (see attached Weiler neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) hypoglycemia screening protocol). The investigators will compare neurodevelopmental outcomes of those who were and were not hypoglycemic in the newborn nursery based on electronic health record data.
