The assessment of newborn iron stores at birth: a review of the literature and standards for ferritin concentrations.

abstract：BACKGROUND:No survey has been published in recent years which primarily focuses on the prescription of inhaled corticosteroids in neonatal practice. Thus, the utilization rate of inhaled corticosteroids is unknown. OBJECTIVES:To elucidate the current utilization rate of inhaled corticosteroids in the prevention and th...
