Preferred Label : Neonatal Rickets;
NCIt related terms : Metabolic Bone Disease of Prematurity; Osteopenia of Prematurity; Rickets of Prematurity;
NCIt definition : Rickets that usually affects premature infants. Factors that contribute to the development
of neonatal rickets include calcium, phosphorus, or calciferol deficiency. It manifests
with spontaneous fractures, respiratory distress, and growth developmental delays.;
Alternative definition : NICHD: A condition characterized by decreased mineral content of the bone of a fetus
or infant due to inadequate availability of calcium and/or phosphorus. Associated
risk factors include the degree of prematurity, low birth weight, medication exposures,
immobilization, and nutrient insufficiency. Metabolic bone disease of prematurity
is characterized by hypophosphatemia, hyperphosphatasia, and secondary hyperparathyroidism,
and may include rachitic bony changes and fractures. Inadequate bone mineralization
may contribute to bronchopulmonary dysplasia and poor growth.;
