Overview

Systematic review demonstrates the importance of vitamin K and D, and hepatitis B vaccine in neonates, suggesting improved health outcomes.

Key Points

  • Vitamin K administration reduces the risk of vitamin K deficiency bleeding in neonates.
  • Daily vitamin D intake of 400 IU is crucial for preventing rickets in all neonates, particularly preterm infants.
  • Early hepatitis B vaccination within 12–24 hours of birth is essential for newborns, especially those born to HBsAg-positive mothers.
  • Improving access to these interventions could decrease neonatal morbidity and mortality rates.
