Vitamin K Prophylaxis in Newborn: Current Hospital Practices in a Metropolitan City
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Vitamin K deficiency may cause unexpected bleeding sometimes severe one into the brain in previously apparently healthy neonates, known as Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding (VKDB) of newborn. Vitamin K prophylaxis in the newborn continues to be a worldwide health concern. A single intramuscular prophylactic dose (0.5 to 1 mg) of vitamin K within first 6 hrs of delivery is preferable till date in preventing VKDB. This observational study was carried out to see the current practices of vitamin K prophylaxis in newborn in different health care centers of a metropolitan area of Chittagong in Bangladesh from July 2013 to December 2013. Total 103 cases were enrolled in this study among them in 82 (79.61%) cases vitamin K prophylaxis was administered after initiation of breast feeding and in 21 (20.39%) cases it was offered before initiation of breast feeding. In 89 (86.40%) cases route of administration was oral whereas in 2 (1.94%) and 12 (11.65%) cases routes were intramuscular and intravenous respectively. In this study it is observed that most of the neonates received vitamin K prophylaxis orally, which is not the currently recommended route to prevent VKDB. So awareness should be promoted in this regard.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
