Actual (reported)Vitamin D is an essential nutrient. Deficiency of vitamin D is widespread. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in early preterm infants is unknown. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a daily intake of 400 IU in order to achieve a serum concentration of 20 ng/ml of vitamin D. This recommendation presumes exposure to sunlight, the best source of vitamin D. This study assesses vitamin D status at birth and during hospital stay in infants delivered delivered at earlier than or at 32 weeks gestation. We also assess the adequacy of intake relative to the target set by the American Academy of Pediatrics for children.

Actual (reported)Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin-D concentration at the time of birth and at discharge from the hospital.
This is a longitudinal study that assessed vitamin D status at birth in infants as well as in their mothers. Daily intake of vitamin D was analyzed. The serum concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin-D at discharge was assessed. We correlated maternal vitamin D with infants' vitamin D concentrations at birth. We also correlated vitamin D concentration at birth with the concentration at discharge.
6 weeks
All infants born at or less than 32 weeks postmenstrual age admitted to the Newborn Intensive Care Unit at University of Cincinnati Medical Center were eligible. Intake of vitamin D and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin-D concentrations were assessed during stay in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit.
