New York State's infant deaths and hospitalizations attributed to hemorrhagic disease of the newborn and other neonatal hemorrhagic conditions were reviewed. In 65% of 34 deaths reviewed, vitamin K was not documented as given or was given only after the onset of hemorrhage. Vitamin K was not included in standing orders in any of 22 hospitals contacted. As a result of this review, vitamin K prophylaxis was made a mandatory newborn care procedure in the State Public Health Code
