ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To study the association of fetal growth restriction (FGR) with metabolic bone disease in preterm neonates.METHODOLOGY:
This prospective cohort study included 94 preterm neonates with FGR as cases and an equal number of gestation-matched appropriate for gestational age (AGA) neonates without FGR as controls. The incidence of metabolic bone disease, and serum biochemical markers at various time intervals till 6 months corrected age were compared. The risk factors for metabolic bone disease and its association with stunting at 6 months of corrected age were studied.RESULTS:
The incidence of metabolic bone disease, though higher in the FGR neonates (15.5%), was not significantly different from AGA neonates (6.7%) [RR (95%CI) 0.92-5.82; P=0.06]. Birth weight [aOR (95%CI) 0.8 (0.64-0.98); P=0.03] and time to reach full feeds [aOR (95%CI) 1.17 (1.01-1.36); P=0.03] were significantly associated with an increased risk of metabolic bone disease after adjusting for FGR status. Mean (SD) levels of calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, parathormone (PTH), and vitamin D were similar in both groups. No significant association existed between metabolic bone disease and stunting at 6 months of corrected age [RR (95%CI) 2 (0.75-5.4); P=0.16].CONCLUSION:
FGR was not found to be significantly associated with metabolic bone disease in preterm neonates.
