outcomes in preterm infants. Methods We conducted systematic searches across various …

Abstract Objective Prefeed gastric residuals (GRs) monitoring has been correlated with an
increased time to reach full feeds and longer parenteral nutrition without beneficial effect on …

Background Survival of LBW infants has increased in recent years because of novel

Premature infants have greater nutritional needs in the neonatal period than at any other
time of their lives. The nutrient needs are inherently high at this stage of development to …

Purpose To analyze the short-term prognostic factors for meeting nutritional needs based on
the aspiration or non-aspiration of preprandial gastric residuals in premature newborns …

The importance of nutritional supply for somatic growth and neurodevelopmental outcome in
very-low-birthweight infants is an established medical strategy for reducing long-term …

Aim Feeding a very low birthweight (VLBW,< 1500 g) infant is challenging. Our aims were to
study how prescribed enteral feeding is implemented in VLBW infants and to identify factors …
