Abstract:
Objective:To explore the clinical feature and prevention of delayed vitamin K deficiency in infants.Methods:The clinical data of 36 infants with delayed vitamin K deficiency who had been admitted to paediatric ward in our hospital during the last 4 years were analyzed retrospectively.Results:28 cases were cured with a cure rate of 77.78%;5 cases died with a mortality rate of13.89%;3 cases gave up treatment which accounts for 8.33%.Conclusion:The incidence rate of delayed vitamin K deficiency is high in infants on pure breastfeeding,and it could be prevented by periodical administration of supplementary vitamin K_1 in small doses to all infants from birth to 3 months.The early diagnosis and proper treatment of delayed vitamin K deficiency are of much clinical significance in increasing cure rate and reducing mortality rate.
