Impact of time to full enteral feeding on long-term neurodevelopment without mediating by postnatal growth failure in very-low-birth-weight-infants

Yoon SA; Lee MH; Chang YS
Scientific Reports.

This study aims to determine if time to achieve full enteral feeding directly impacted long-term neurodevelopmental delay and whether long-term postnatal growth failure was a mediator of this association in very-low-birth-weight infants

Journal of Surgical Research.

Retrospective review of NICU patients who received total parenteral nutrition for 7 or more days. We compared patients born between 1/1/2014 and 12/31/2015 (pre-mixed lipid emulsion) to patients born between 7/1/2017 and 12/31/2018 (post-mixed lipid emulsion).

Nutritional support, via modified oral feeding, enteral, or parenteral nutrition, is key to halting chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction-related malnutrition.


Lactic Acidosis Due to Thiamine Deficiency in a Preterm Infant Associated with Inadequate Parenteral Nutrition.

Hasan SA; Shajira ES
The American Journal of Case Reports.

This reports a premature male infant born at 30 weeks of gestation with thiamine deficiency and lactic acidosis associated with inadequate parenteral nutrition.


A tale of two analyses: Administrative vs primary review of nutrition support team performance.

Busch RA; Stone S; Kudsk KA
Nutrition in Clinical Practice.

Charts of patients receiving parenteral nutrition for ≤3 days underwent an in-depth review focusing on indications, reasons for discontinuation, and protein-calorie malnutrition at time of nutrition support team consultation to identify reasons for short duration.
