29. Micronutrients deficiencies in infants following gastrointestinal surgery at the National Children's Hospital
Main Article Content
Abstract
Micronutrients play an important role in the growth and development of children, especially in infancy. The study was conducted to describe micronutrient deficiencies in infants after gastrointestinal surgery at 12 months and to describe influencing factors. The study included 67 infants (61.2% male), 31.3% were premature, 34.3% of had intestinal dysfunction, 86.6% had small bowel resection, and 91% received complete enteral nutrition. The highest rates of micronutrients deficiencies were: iron (37.3%), zinc (32.8%), risk of vitamin K deficiency (20.9%), and vitamin D deficiency (11.9%). Thus, infants after gastrointestinal surgery, despite being supplemented with micronutrients, were still at risk of nutritional deficiencies lasting up to 12 months after surgery. Infants with enterostomy had a significantly higher risk of nutritional deficiencies than those without enterostomy due to low absorption capacity.
