Overview

With so many sources of information, how can we best use journals to answer clinical questions effectively? In this session, we will use Vitamin K use to prevent Vitamin K Bleeding Disorder (VKBD) as an example of how to find journal data and quickly assess its reliability. Lessons learned from the VKBD can be used in other clinical scenarios, providing participants with skills to use for their own clinical issues.

Learning Objectives

  • Learn how to understand the layout and structure of journal articles in general using VKBD specific studies as examples
  • Understand the significance of Vitamin K Bleeding Disorder (VKBD) in the newborn period
  • Understand the differences between IM vs oral vitamin K
  • Review the reasons parents might refuse Vitamin K in the newborn period
