When infants do not receive any Vitamin K at birth, statistics - TopicsExpress



          

When infants do not receive any Vitamin K at birth, statistics from Europe show that 4.4 to 10.5 infants out of 100,000 will develop late VKDB. Rates are higher in Asian countries (1 out of every 6,000 infants). When infants receive oral Vitamin K at least three times during infancy (typically at birth, one week, and four weeks), anywhere from 1.4 to 6.4 infants out of 100,000 will develop late VKDB. When infants receive the Vitamin K shot at birth, there are virtually no cases of late VKDB. evidencebasedbirth/evidence-for-the-vitamin-k.../
