Compliance to Prescription of Routine Vitamin D Supplementation in Infants.

We assessed compliance to routine vitamin D supplementation in 330 infants (age 6 wk to 9 mo), who were prescribed supplemen-tation at birth. 137 (41.5%) had received vitamin D supplemen-tation at some point of time till enrolment. Median (IQR) compliance to routine vitamin D supplementation was 66.7% (50%, 83.3%) in those who ever received supple-mentation. Only 29 (8.8%) were receiving appropriate routine vitamin D supple-mentation in terms of dose, frequency and duration. There was low level of reinforcement (35%) from healthcare workers and low parental awareness (34%) of the need of supplementation.
