    Results of Extremely-low-birth-weight Infants Randomized to Receive Extra Enteral Calcium Supply
    (LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2011) Carroll, William F.; Fabres, Jorge; Nagy, Tim R.; Frazier, Marcela; Roane, Claire; Pohlandt, Frank; Carlo, Waldemar A.; Thome, Ulrich H.
    Background and Objective: Bone mineral deficiency continues to occur in extremely-low-birth-weight (ELBW) infants despite formulas enriched in calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P). This study tested whether extra enteral Ca supplementation increases bone mineral content (BMC) and prevents dolichocephalic head flattening and myopia in ELBW infants.
