This study was a comparison of growth and tolerance in premature infants fed either standard powdered human milk fortifier (HMF) or newly formulated concentrated liquid that contained extensively hydrolyzed protein.This an unblinded randomized controlled multicenter noninferiority on preterm receiving (HM) supplemented with 2 randomly assigned HMFs, HMF containing protein (LE-HMF) intact (PI-HMF) as the control. The population consisted ≤33 weeks who were enterally HM. Infants studied from...
Extensively hydrolyzed formulas present a complex matrix subject to adverse conditions during manufacture that could influence growth and tolerance of infants fed these formulas. A masked, randomized, parallel study was conducted in ready-to-feed (RTF) or powdered (PWD) form an extensively casein-based formula. Infants were enrolled between 0 9 days studied 112 age. Growth, formula intake, stool patterns assessed. There no significant differences groups weight, length, head circumference,...
Preterm births account for disproportionately high healthcare costs, in large part due to expenses related length of stay the hospital neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). It is common preterm infants receive human milk fortifier (HMF) while NICU. Liquid HMF available both acidified and non-acidified formulations. A recent randomized clinical trial found that associated with an increased incidence metabolic acidosis, which may contribute costs longer NICU stay. The present study a secondary...
Dietary carotenoids possess antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and light‐absorbing characteristics. Lutein is also the major component in infant retinal pigment. Preterm infants represent a population which increased inflammation oxidative stress are associated with common diseases of prematurity. Infants (n=203) < 33 wks GA were randomized to regimen preterm formulas added (SF) or control without (CF) fed until 50 post‐menstrual age (PMA). Electroretinography at PMA was used evaluate...
There is little published data on how to prepare probiotic supplements for enteral delivery in the NICU. The objective of this study was determine a three-strain blend (Bb-02, TH-4® and BB-12®) would behave when mixed held 4 hours with saline water, sterile dextrose 5% water (D5W), 24 kcal preterm formula, human milk.A packet supplement 3 mL D5W, milk (tested at 2 mL). Samples were stored room temperature 60 minutes then refrigerated 180 minutes. Probiotic survival, using quantitative...
