Serum Bone Alkaline Phosphatase in Assessing Illness Severity of Infected Neonates in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

<p><b>Background</b>: Infections can influence bone metabolism of neonates, which may lead to changes in some bone metabolism biomarkers. The purpose of this study was to determine whether serum bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP), osteocalcin (OC) and beta carboxy-terminal peptide of...
