Characterizing Vitamin K Refusal in Term Hospital-Born Infants in Minnesota, 2015–2019
In a cohort of Minnesota hospital-born infants, the incidence of vitamin K refusal increased between 2015 and 2019. We identified large populations (eg, public insurance, exclusive human milk feeding) and smaller discrete communities (eg, Russian, Pentecostal) with opportunities for increasing prophylactic vitamin K acceptance through targeted community conversations.
