Abstract
UNLABELLED: 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.
