Nation Wide Survey

Questionnaires were sent to 1,218 hospitals with more than 200 beds, in order to know the incidence of hemorrhagic disease due to vitamin K deficiency in infancy beyond 2 weeks after birth, during 4 and a half years, i.e. from January 1981 to June 1985. Out of the 534 cases reported, 407 had no obvious reasons for vitamin K deficiency: "idiopathic vitamin K deficiency in infancy". Other 68 cases had bleedingepisodes due to vitamin K deficiency associated with hepatobiliary lesions (e.g.congenital bile duct atresia), chronic diarrhea, long term antibiotic therapy and so on: "secondary vitamin K deficiencyin infancy". The third group consisting of 59 cases was so called "near miss" type, in which hemorrhagic tendency was discovered at the time of mass screening tests for vitamin K deficiency or by chance withoutany clinical hemorrhage. In the idiopatic group, 345 cases (84.8%) developed their bleeding episodes between 21 and 59 days of age, and 368 cases (90.4%) were wholly breast-fed. Intracranial hemorrhage was seen in 338 cases (83.0%) of this group. In most cases of this series (97.3%),no vitamin K was supplemented after birth. Administration of vitamin K is an urgent routine procedure during the first one or two months of life for all newbornbabies, although the incidence of the idiopathic vitamin K deficiency in infancyhas not decreased significantly comparedto the results of the first nation-wide survey (Jan. 1978 - Dec. 1980). This study was sponsored by the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Japan.
