Overview

Cross-sectional analysis shows high incidence of osteopenia in preterm infants, highlighting concerns in nutritional management.

Key Points

  • At admission, 78 (77.2%) neonates had osteopenia of prematurity, indicating high prevalence.
  • Serum phosphorus and vitamin D3 levels were significantly low, contrasting with normal calcium levels.
  • High serum alkaline phosphatase levels suggest bone metabolism issues in preterm infants.
  • The findings point to the need for better monitoring of nutritional parameters to prevent osteopenia.
