- Title
The validity of biochemical markers in metabolic bone disease in preterm infants: a systematic review.
- Authors
Visser, Fenna; Sprij, Arwen J; Brus, Frank
- Abstract
To establish the validity of biochemical markers of metabolic bone disease (MBD) in preterm infants. Conclusion: There is insufficient evidence that any of the frequently used serum measurements are valid biochemical markers of MBD in preterm infants. Increased urinary calcium concentration may be a valid biochemical marker, but more research is necessary to confirm this.
