Serum calcium is frequently measured during the neonatal period, and it is known to be influenced by the vitamin D status. We hypothesized that the 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) concentration may influence the lower limit of the serum calcium normal range in neonates. We included in our prospective co...
