Early-Life Slow Enteral Feeding Progression Pattern Is Associated with Longitudinal Head-Size Growth Faltering and Neurodevelopmental Impairment Outcomes in Extremely Preterm Infants.

To determine whether feeding progression patterns in the first eight postnatal weeks, depicted by clustering analysis of daily enteral feeding volume, are associated with longitudinal head-circumference growth and neurodevelopmental outcomes in extremely preterm infants

Effects of Targeted Versus Adjustable Protein Fortification of Breast Milk on Early Growth in Very Low-Birth-Weight Preterm Infants: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

The goal of the study was to compare the effects of two different methods of individualized protein fortification of breast milk on the early growth of very low-birth-weight infants.

Optimizing the growth of very-low-birth-weight infants requires targeting both nutritional and nonnutritional modifiable factors specific to stage of hospitalization.

Since data on how baseline characteristics work in combination to affect the growth of very-low-birth-weight infants is limited, the aim was to determine factors associated with in-hospital weight, length, and head circumference trajectories of VLBW infants.
