Abstract

The purpose of this study is the investigation of the effectiveness of the repeated administration of vitamin K1 to preterm infants. 88 preterm infants were administered vitamin K1 in first hours of life at a dose of 1 mg intramuscularly, then repeatedly at 7th, 14th, 21th day after birth. Infants in the control group received vitamin K1 in a dose of 1 mg once at birth. The effectiveness of repeated administration of vitamin K1 was evaluated by the results of clinical, laboratory and instrumental data on the 21th day of life. The results showed that repeated administration of vitamin K1 reduces the length of stay of children in the ICU (15 ± 5.3 days in the study group, 18 ± 6 days in the control group), decreases of activated partial thromboplastin time as compared to the control group (53 to 29; p< 0.005), increases of prothrombin index (from 59.6 ± 7.2% to 86.7 ± 5%; p< 0.005), decreases of the number of children with retinopathy (6.5 ± 3.6% in the study group and 23.8 ± 6.6%; in the control (p< 0.05).
