A retrospective study at Leiden University Medical Center aimed to determine the occurrence and duration of hypothermia in infants < 32 weeks gestational age at birth during the first three hours after arrival at their neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and to identify risk factors. During admission, skin temperature was continuously measured by a skin temperature probe and recorded every minute in MetaVision. The authors found that gestational age at birth and hypothermia at admission were independent risk factors for the occurrence of hypothermia in the first hours during admission and conclude that because hypothermia increases the risks in morbidity and mortality, caregivers should take all precautions to prevent hypothermia, not only in the delivery room, but also in the first hours after admission.
