These data confirm the high prevalence of hyperglycemia among parenterally fed, extremely low birth-weight infants and show that high blood glucose concentrations increase the risk of early death and grade 3 or 4 intraventricular hemorrhage and the length of hospital stay among survivors without intraventricular hemorrhage,

However, earlier studies have found that adverse effects of low birth weight on cardiovascular risk factor variables were independent of gestation period [10,17,49]. Further, it has been pointed out that inclusion of preterm births could actually underestimate these associations [28]. This study also lacks measurements...
