    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Pediatric Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Early neonatal hypocalcaemia is the primary cause of low serum calcium during the neonatal period.
    • Convulsions due to hypocalcaemia are rare, despite a notable incidence of the condition itself.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the prevalence of early neonatal hypocalcaemia.
    • To recommend monitoring and treatment strategies for neonatal hypocalcaemia.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of neonatal cases over a 2-year period.
    • Inclusion of data from 8700 deliveries.

    Main Results:

    • 51 infants diagnosed with early neonatal hypocalcaemia.
    • Only 2 cases of hypocalcaemic convulsions observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Early neonatal hypocalcaemia is a common issue requiring attention.
    • Daily serum calcium monitoring is crucial for sick, low birth-weight infants.
    • Consider calcium supplementation for infants exhibiting hypocalcaemia symptoms.
