Vitamin a levels in cord blood may predict preemie complications

This study looks at whether extremely preterm babies (born before 32 weeks) with low vitamin A levels in their umbilical cord blood are more likely to develop serious health problems like lung disease, gut infections, or bleeding in the brain. Researchers will measure vitamin A in cord blood from 155 babies and track their health until they leave the hospital. The goal is to better understand if vitamin A deficiency plays a role in these complications.
