Figure 3 .
Creatinine adjusted urinary deoxypyridinoline (Dpd) concentrations (nmol/mmol Cr) in very low birthweight infants receiving corticosteroid or not over the study period. The asterisks indicate a significant increase or decrease in creatinine adjusted urinary Dpd concentration compared with the pretreatment (Td-pre) or week 3 (Twk-3) levels within the same group. The parentheses indicate a significant difference between the two groups when the corresponding time periods are compared. Results are expressed as mean and SEM.
