Introduction: To determine the prevalence and associated factors of osteopenia in preterm infants through neonatal screening in healthcare institutions (Instituciones Prestadoras de Salud) in Atlántico, from 2023 to 2024. Materials and Methods: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study with exploratory data analysis. The population consisted of neonates < 36 weeks of gestation admitted to three intensive care units in Atlántico between December 2023 and 2024. The variables studied included sociodemographic, nutritional, and paraclinical data, as well as pharmacological treatment and complications. Data collection was performed by reviewing neonatal intensive care unit databases, assessing levels of alkaline phosphatase, phosphorus, and calcium after the fourth week of life. Data were tabulated in Excel and analyzed using Statgraphics 16 software. Results: An association was identified between osteopenia and low birth weight, lower gestational age, higher chronological age, corticosteroid use, and radiographic changes. Conclusion: The analysis of determinants revealed that lower gestational age, low birth weight, and pharmacological interventions were the primary factors associated with the development of metabolic bone disease of prematurity (osteopenia of prematurity).
