ABSTRACT

Morphologic evidence for calcium salts within the brains of severely stressed neonates at autopsy correlated to the mean daily parenteral dose of calcium gluconate (P less than 0.01). Survival analysis indicated that parenteral administration of calcium contributed a negative effect to predicted survival (P less than 0.05).
