We excluded any child who returned with the same injury, with known metabolic bone disease, with any disease or condition known to reduce bone density, who received any medication known to affect Vitamin D metabolism within 3\u00a0months of enrollment or who had fractures post-surgery\/resuscitation. Variables such as the number of fractures sustained each year, age of presentation to the Emergency Department and mechanism of injury were compared between the preterm and term groups using statistical analysis (\u03c7<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> and Fisher exact test for categorical variables and Student\u2019s <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>-test for continuous variables).

Of these, none were born extremely preterm, 24 (55%) were preterm, and 20 (45%) were born at term. Mean gestational ages of the preterm and term groups were 32\u00a0weeks 3\u00a0days and 39\u00a0weeks 6\u00a0days, respectively. There were no extremely low birth weight or very low birth weight children. There was no significant difference in the number of fractures sustained yearly, the age of presentation to the Emergency Department or the site of fracture between preterm and term groups. Linear regression showed that the total number of fractures sustained by age 3\u00a0years was unrelated to prematurity status, gender or birth weight category.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>No significant difference in fracture number or pattern was identified.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00247-020-04817-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,17]],"date-time":"2020-09-17T14:07:10Z","timestamp":1600351630000},"page":"86-93","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Comparison of prevalence and characteristics of fractures in term and preterm infants in the first 3\u00a0years of life"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Liting","family":"Tong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarita","family":"Pooranawattanakul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jaya Sujatha","family":"Gopal-Kothandapani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amaka C.","family":"Offiah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"4817_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"969","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1651-2227.2007.00336.x","volume":"96","author":"J Rigo","year":"2007","unstructured":"Rigo J, Pieltain C, Salle B, Senterre J (2007) Enteral calcium, phosphate and vitamin D requirements and bone mineralization in preterm infants.
