Background: An exclusive human milk (EHM) diet in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants (birth ≤1,000 g) is linked to an increased likelihood of extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR, <10% at discharge). Past studies associated EUGR with worse neurodevelopmental (ND) outcomes; however, its impact when EHM used unknown. Objective: Determine whether adversely affects 2-year ND outcomes ELBW fed diet. Secondary aims were compare short-term morbidities and through 2 years corrected age (CA)....
Background: In 2015, we implemented a comprehensive lactation bundle named Liquid Gold. Lactation bundles in the neonatal intensive care unit have not been well studied. Materials and Methods: This is an ongoing quality improvement breastfeeding project of racially diverse mothers infants extremely low birth weight (≤1,000 g). Four epochs were assessed; baseline (B; January 2012-July 2013), transition (T; human milk [HM]-derived fortifier; August 2013-December 2014), Gold (LG; full bundle,...
This perspective work by academic neonatal providers is written specifically for the audience of newborn care and neonatologists involved in hypoglycemia screening. Herein, we propose adding a screen congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) measuring glucose ketone (i.e., β-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB)) concentrations just prior to hospital discharge as close 48 h after birth possible, at same time that mandated state Newborn Dried Blood Spot Screen obtained. In proposed protocol, do not recommend...
