Although neonatal hypoglycemia is a common problem among hospitalized neonates, there is limited evidence about its incidence and predictors in Ethiopia, and no studies have been done in our study area. It is critical to consider the incidence and predictors of neonatal hypoglycemia to save neonates\u2032 lives from acute problems, long\u2010term neurological impairments, and death. This study is aimed at assessing the incidence and predictors of neonatal hypoglycemia among neonates admitted to Wolaita Zone health institutions\u2032 neonatal intensive care units.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A hospital\u2010based prospective follow\u2010up study was conducted on a sample of 785 admitted eligible neonates between November 1, 2023, and June 1, 2024. The eligible neonates were included in the study consecutively. Data were collected using a pretested interview guide and checklist on sociodemographic, obstetric, and neonatal\u2010related risk factors of hypoglycemia. The collected data were coded, edited, and imported to STATA Version 14 from Kobo toolbox for further analysis. The Kaplan\u2013Meier survival curve was used to determine survival time, and the log\u2010rank test was used to compare survival times across categorical factors. To identify predictors, both bivariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models were employed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among the 785 neonates included in the final analysis, the overall incidence rate of neonatal hypoglycemia during the follow\u2010up time was found to be 15.47 per 1000 neonate\u2010days (95% CI: 12.55, 19.06). Maternal history of bad obstetrics (AHR: 2.26, 95% CI: 1.29, 3.96), gestational diabetes mellitus (AHR: 2.27, 95% CI: 1.27, 4.05), gestational age (AHR: 2.88, 95% CI: 1.35, 6.18), hypothermia (AHR: 2.55, 95% CI: 1.37, 4.77), and newborn type (AHR: 4.31, 95% CI: 1.03, 8.10) were predictors of neonatal hypoglycemia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study, we found a high rate of neonatal hypoglycemia.
