摘要：(1) Background: Recent evidence reported a reduced tolerance of macronutrient parenteral intakes in subjects in critically ill conditions. We designed a prospective cohort study to evaluate the effects of hyperglycemia (HG) related to parenteral nutrition (PN) on neurodevelopment (NDV) in survived preterm newborns. (2) Methods: Enrolled newborns with gestational age 180 mg/dL) in the first week of life; (B) not exposed to HG. We considered as the primary outcome the rate of preterm newborns survived without NDV delay at 24 months of life, evaluated with Bayley Scales of Infants Development III edition. (3) Results: We analyzed 108 (A 32 vs. B 76) at 24 months of life. Newborns in cohort A showed a higher rate of cognitive and motor delay (A 44% vs. B 22 %, p = 0.024; A 38% vs. B 8%, p < 0.001). When adjusting for background characteristics, HG remained a risk factor for motor delay. (4) Conclusions: High nutritional intakes through PN soon after birth increase the risk of HG. The consequences of this severe metabolic complication affect long-term NDV and survival in preterm newborns.
