Incidence and predictors of high vitamin D in premature infants with very low birth weight
25[OH]D supplementation of 400 IU/day in VLBWs is associated with a high incidence of hypervitaminosis D. The above findings reveal a significant effect of maternal demographic and clinical factors on newborn metabolic health. Further work is needed to identify causes of hypervitaminosis D. Long term prospective studies are needed to understand the impact of hypervitaminosis D in VLBWs.
