Summary

This study looks at whether giving a higher dose of vitamin D (800 IU daily) to extremely premature infants (born before 28 weeks or weighing under 1000 grams) can improve their health. Researchers will check vitamin D levels and measure effects on the lungs, bones, immune system, and brain. The goal is to see if this simple supplement can reduce breathing problems and other complications in these vulnerable babies.
