| Popis: | INTRODUCTION Selenium is an essential micronutrient that must be supplemented in infants and young children on exclusive parenteral nutrition (PN). We examined selenium status and clinical factors associated with a deficiency in infants on PN. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of pediatric patients receiving PN with routine monitoring of selenium status. Deficiency was diagnosed using age-based norms of plasma selenium status. Associations between selenium deficiency and the following clinical factors were examined: birthweight status: extremely low birthweight (ELBW) versus very low birthweight (VLBW) versus low birthweight (LBW) versus normal birthweight (NBW), serum albumin status, presence of cholestasis, and co-administration of enteral feeds. RESULTS A total of 42 infants were included with gestational age [median (interquartile range)] 28 weeks (25,34). The prevalence of selenium deficiency was 80% and the prevalence of albumin deficiency was 87.5%. The odds of selenium deficiency were higher in ELBW infants (odds ratio = 17.84, 95% confidence interval [4.04-78.72], P |
