There is a need to explore novel methods of assessing bone health in sick preterm infants. This study of the speed of sound in the long bones of newborn term and preterm infants shows that, in this population, this technique is not site specific and has a high degree of interobserver and intraobserver precision. The speed of sound in newborn infants is primarily dependent on gestation rather than birth weight.
有必要探索评估患病早产儿骨骼健康的新方法。这项关于足月儿和早产儿长骨中声速的研究表明，在这一人群中，该技术并非特定于某个部位，并且在观察者间和观察者内都具有高度的精确性。新生儿的声速主要取决于孕周而非出生体重。
