Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1983
Hemorrhagic disease of the newborn was described in 1894 by Townsend.1It occurs in the first week of life, independent of trauma, anoxia, or infection, and appears to be a self-limiting condition if unassociated with life-threatening hemorrhage. It is caused by vitamin K deficiency, which has been reported in several infants 4 to 8 weeks old.

Prevention of Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding

Journal of Midwifery & Women's Health, 2016
The risk that a newborn will develop vitamin K deficiency bleeding is 1700/100,000 (one out of 59) if vitamin K is not administered. When intramuscular vitamin K is administered, the risk of vitamin K deficiency bleeding is reduced to 1/100,000. While women may have misconceptions about vitamin K prophylaxis for their newborns, health care providers ...

Prevention of vitamin K deficiency in infancy by weekly administration of vitamin K

Acta Paediatrica, 1993
Vitamin K prophylaxis has been developed to prevent classic haemorrhagic disease of the newborn. Single vitamin K administration after birth has been reported to fail, resulting in late haemorrhagic disease of the newborn. The preventive effect of oral administration of vitamin K1 1 mg, repeated weekly during the first three months of life, was studied

Vitamin K Deficiency and Hemorrhage in Infancy

Clinics in Perinatology, 1995
Hemorrhage in the infant from vitamin K deficiency is still a concern in pediatrics. Vitamin K given intramuscularly will largely prevent hemorrhagic disease in the newborn, even in infants who are exclusively breast-fed and are thus at the greatest risk for bleeding.
