Objective Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is one of the most common and often fatal intestinal disorders in preterm infants. Markers to identify at-risk infants as well therapies prevent treat NEC are limited urgently needed. incidence significantly lower breast-fed compared with formula-fed Infant formula lacks human milk oligosaccharides (HMO), such disialyllacto-N-tetraose (DSLNT), which prevents neonatal rats. However, it unknown if DSLNT also protects Design We conducted a multicentre...
Although mother's own milk (MOM) is associated with reduced risk of neonatal complications prematurity and improved neurodevelopmental outcomes, to our knowledge, there have been no large US studies reporting rates MOM feeding initiation sustained feedings by gestational age (GA). To compare continuation at 12 weeks for infants GA. This retrospective cross-sectional study used state-level surveillance data maternal characteristics behaviors before after pregnancy. Participants were women who...
No uniform method for calculating growth velocity (GV) (grams per kilogram day) among extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants has been reported. Because the calculation of actual GV is so labor intensive, investigators have estimated with varying approaches, making comparisons across studies difficult. This study compares accuracy 3 mathematical methods used estimating average GV, namely, 2-point models using difference between weights at 2 time points divided by and (either [BW] or...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a costly morbidity in very low birth weight (VLBW; <1,500 g weight) infants that increases hospital length of stay and requires expensive treatments. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> To evaluate the cost NEC as function dose exposure period human milk (HM) feedings received by VLBW during neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) hospitalization determine drivers differences NICU costs for with...
Human milk from the infant's mother (own mother's milk; OMM) feedings reduces risk of several morbidities in very low birthweight (VLBW) infants, but limited data exist regarding its impact on bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).To prospectively study OMM received neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) BPD and associated costs.A 5-year prospective cohort dose growth, morbidity NICU costs VLBW infants. was proportion enteral intake that consisted birth to 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA) or...
<b>Objective</b> To evaluate the relative impact of maternal education level (MEL) on cognitive, language, and motor outcomes at 20 months' corrected age (CA) in preterm infants. <b>Study Design</b> A total 177 infants born between 2008 2010 were tested CA using Bayley Scales Infant Toddler Development-III. Multiple regression analyses done to determine MEL scores. <b>Results</b> Infants mothers with high school 3.74 times more likely have a subnormal index, while those some college graduate...
This study sought to determine the maternal prepregnancy, pregnancy, and delivery risk factors that predicted coming volume (CTV; achieving pumped mother's own milk [MOM] ≥500 mLs/day) continuation of MOM provision through discharge from neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in mothers their very low birthweight (VLBW; <1,500 g at birth) infants.Secondary analysis prospectively collected data 402 VLBW infants admitted an urban NICU, including detailed pumping records for a subset (51%) cohort....
The association between human milk (HM) feeding in the NICU and neurodevelopmental (ND) outcome very low birth weight (VLBW) infants is unclear. Limitations of previous studies include a lack exact estimates HM dose generalizability to minority populations.To determine impact on ND an received diverse, contemporary cohort VLBW infants.We included 430 born period 2008-2012 for whom mean daily (DD) during stay (NICU HM-DD) was calculated prospectively from nutritional intake admission...
Abstract Background Transition to enteral feeding is difficult for very low‐birth‐weight (VLBW; ≤1500 g) infants, and optimal nutrition important clinical outcomes. Method Data on practices short‐term outcomes (growth, necrotizing enterocolitis [NEC], mortality) in VLBW infants were collected from 13 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) 5 continents (n = 2947). Specifically, NICUs Guangdong province China (GD), mainly using formula slow advancement 1366), compared with the remaining...
Abstract Breastfeeding and human milk (HM) are critically important to maternal, infant population health. This paper summarizes the proceedings of a workshop that convened multidisciplinary panel researchers identify key priorities anticipated breakthroughs in breastfeeding HM research, discuss perceived barriers challenges achieving these propose constructive action plan maximize impact future research this field. Priority areas identified were as follows: (1) addressing low rates...
