In adults and children there is a significant correlation between serum concentration of vitamin E (E) and total lipid (TL). Therefore use of the serum ratio of E to TL (E/TL) as a measure of E nutrition, rather than E alone, has been recommended. This ratio may not be useful in infants because of the higher proportion of polyunsaturated fats in their diets. In order to evaluate this relationship in neonates, 70 infants XBW 2085gm±502 SD, XGA 34.8wks±2.1 SD were studied. Serum E and TL were measured during the following time periods: (I) within a few hours of birth; (II) 1 week of age, NPO, on hyperalimentation (HAL) and Intralipid (IL); (III) after 1-2 weeks of combined enteral feeds. HAL, IL; (IV) 1–2 weeks after full enteral feeds.Multiple measurements within each group showed a significant correlation between E and TL (r=.43, p<.01) only in period I and if all babies were considered. The r value however was only 0.43, which reflects a relatively poor correlation. After exogenous nutrition was started (periods II-IV), there was no correlation between E and TL (r=.02-.34) in any birthweight group. Serial measurements of serum vitamin E levels appear to be the only practical means of monitoring E nutrition in the preterm neonate.
