Human milk is the ideal source of nutrition for most infants, but significant gaps remain in our understanding human biology. As part addressing these gaps, Breastmilk Ecology: Genesis Infant Nutrition (BEGIN) Project Working Groups 1-4 interrogated state knowledge regarding infant-human milk-lactating parent triad. However, to optimize impact newly generated across all stages research, need remained a translational research framework specific field. Thus, with inspiration from simplified...
Introduction: Human milk (HM) is the ideal enteral feeding for nearly all infants and offers unique benefits to very low birthweight (VLBW) infant population. It a challenge meet high nutrient requirements of VLBW due known variability HM composition. analysis (HMA) assesses composition allows individualized fortification. Due recent U.S. Food Drug Administration (FDA) approval, it has relatively availability clinical use in US. Aim: To identify current practices HMA fortification neonatal...
Abstract Background This survey described the compensation of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) in United States and examined correlates higher salaries within this group. Methods A cross‐sectional online was completed 2021 by 143 NICU RDNs from 127 US hospitals who reported hourly wage dollars (USD). We used initial bivariate analyses to assess relationship selected institution‐level individual‐level variables wage; rank‐sum test for binary...
Neonatal registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) are critical members of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) team. Ideal RDN staffing levels unknown. Current RDNs in Canadian NICUs have not been recently reported. The objective this study was to describe and responsibilities Canada contrast these findings with those United States.
Parenteral nutrition (PN) is essential to support premature infants' growth and varies with enteral (EN) advancement rates. Data on PN duration's impact are limited. The aim of this multicenter observational study was determine the effect early duration body composition at term corrected gestational age (CGA) in very low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants.VLBW infants exposed first week life significantly different EN regimens were divided into two groups basis duration. Infants a birth weight (BW)...
Background: Body composition assessment using noninvasive air displacement plethysmography (ADP) can help determine the quality of postnatal growth in infants.The accretion rates fat mass (FM) and fat-free (FFM), both are known to change various clinicopathological situations a discordant fashion, also evaluate short-term impacts nutritional interventions on body composition.Objectives: To FM FFM from 30 45 weeks' postmenstrual age (PMA) whether these different between male female...
In preterm infants, longitudinal growth patterns have a stronger association with clinical outcomes than cross-sectional metrics. For qualitative growth, one-time body composition measurement at near term is common, and here we explore the potential use of novel estimated metric (adjusted fat-free mass deficit) using birth anthropometrics.
