| Abstract | ABSTRACTIntroduction: Every year, there are over 13 million premature infants worldwide. Osteopenia of prematurity is a metabolic disease in which demineralization of bones is seen; it is progressive and variable in severity. It is found in 30% of preemies less than 1,500 g and increases up to 50% if born weighing less than 1,000 g. Material and methods: A longitu-dinal, descriptive, prospective and comparative research was done including preterm babies of less than 34 weeks’ gesta-tion. A follow-up of serum calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase was carried out in days 7, 14, 21 and 28 of life. An ANOVA test was used for statistic analysis. Results: After 5 babies were discarded, 16 preterm newborns were studied, of which 11 were female and 5 male. General prevalence of osteopenia was 31.2% but it increased up to 75% in those children born weighing less than 1,000 g. Diminished phos-phorus was observed as well as a tendency of the alkaline phosphatase to increase from day 14. Eighty per cent of the patients studied had respiratory distress syndrome and bronchopulmonary dysplasia as well. |
