Nutritional outcome of 207 very low-birth-weight infants in an intensive care unit

Extract: Growth and feeding outcomes during the first weeks of life were prospectively evaluated in 207 critically ill, very low birthweight (VLBW) infants (birthweight less than 1,500 g). Maximal weight loss occurred by day 9, (averaging 13% of birthweight), while birthweight was regained by day 18...

Zusammenfassung:Extract: Growth and feeding outcomes during the first weeks of life were prospectively evaluated in 207 critically ill, very low birthweight (VLBW) infants (birthweight less than 1,500 g). Maximal weight loss occurred by day 9, (averaging 13% of birthweight), while birthweight was regained by day 18. Energy intake during initial weight gain (19 g per day) averaged 100 kcal per kg. Feeding and growth outcome were highly correlated with severity of illness, but were not significantly related to sex, birthweight, or appropriateness of weight for gestational age. (author)
