Bone health in preterm infants is a critical aspect of their overall well-being, as they are born before completing the full term of gestation and may face unique challenges in bone development. The prevention and treatment of metabolic bone disease is essential to prevent fractures and ensure proper growth and development. This guideline aims to provide guidance on best nutritional and clinical practices to prevent, laboratory monitor, and treat metabolic bone disease.
