Does hypoglycemia following a glucose challenge test identify a high risk pregnancy?

Preeclampsia: presence of pre-existing hypertension, presence of other medical history, maternal age.
Induction of labor: any pre-existing medical history, gestational age, preeclampsia, maternal age.
Preterm delivery: preeclampsia, antenatal hospitalizations, threatened preterm labor, labor induction.
IUGR: gestational age at delivery, pre-existing medical conditions present.
Macrosomia: maternal age, preeclampsia and gestational age at delivery.
Umbilical artery pH<7.1: gestational age at delivery and mode of delivery.
5 min Apgar < 7: gestational age at delivery and induction of labor.
NICU admission for any reason: gestational age at delivery, fetal distress in labor, cesarean delivery, IUGR, macrosomia.
